During this year, a new body has joined the governance of our organization: the Advisory Board. With the help to this group of people we can make strategic decisions with a vision of future thanks to the expertise of those who are part of it. Find out more details in this post.

Advisory Boards are informal bodies composed of various professionals, who serve as support and direction for organizations or other entities. The purpose of these boards can be varied as required, all of them oriented to accelerate growth and improve competitiveness.

In the case of NGO Te Protejo, the Council was created with the purpose of ensuring a vision of sustainability and providing us with strategic management to continue our work in favor of animals.

Currently, our advisory board is conformed by four professionals who provide support in the areas of Strategy & Development for the five Te Protejo departments: Administration and Finance, Awareness, Liaison, Certifications and Advocacy. Get to know them here!
