We were founded by indigenous community leaders from rural areas, who continue to lead the Association.  Our managerial structure has our General Assembly at its head, a Board of Directors to manage activities, an Executive Director in charge of coordinating and carrying out projects, and a linguistic advisor for the integration of Q’eqchi’ Maya cultural education in the curriculum.

The General Assembly provides oversight of the association and is comprised of all founding community members and active members. The Assembly meets in one or two regular sessions from September to December each year, and thereafter as required. They discuss specific issues about education and elect the Board of Directors.

Our Board members are active participants in the educational process and frequently participate in workshops.
