Interviews

Consuelo Castro of CEMEFI

Here is another interview with one of our fantastic Global Forum members. There are also two short podcasts associated with this interview, one in English and one in Spanish . If you would like to be interviewed, please contact us.

Consuelo, please tell us a bit about your work in NGO governance. What do you do?

As part of my function as coordinator of the Legal and Professionalisation Areas at the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI ), I conduct the board training program, which was launched in 1998.

The main objective of the program is to raise awareness regarding the role of governing bodies in strengthening and developing civil society organizations in Mexico. The program includes workshops, consulting and the translation of BoardSources booklets into Spanish.
