Guate Conecta Board

The Guate Conecta Advisory Board is a group of highly committed and credible people working in the social sector who have contributed substantially to a more just society in Guatemala. Most of them have grown up, lived life experiences, and have overcome challenges that are similar to the people that we work and partner with. The Advisory Board plays a critical role in the grant making process.
