Interviews

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.

Last month we brought you the first part of an extensive interview with Crispin Gregoire, Ambassador to the United Nations for the Commonwealth of Dominica. Here is the second part of the interview. If you know of someone you’d like to see interviewed, or if you have a story to tell, please contact us!

We recently interviewed Crispin Gregoire, Ambassador to the United Nations for the Commonwealth of Dominica. Prior to his position with the UN, Crispin was the Director of Global Programs for BoardSource. Crispin has also worked for Ford Foundation-West Africa, TechnoServe (Nigeria) and Save the Children (Dominica office). We asked Crispin about his work at the UN and how it connects with NGOs, and about his views on good governance for NGOs. This month we bring you part 1 of the interview.

This is the first in a series of interviews to learn more about our members and how they work with NGOs and their boards. A new interview will be featured each month. If you are interested in participating in an interview, please admin [at] ngoboards [dot] org (email us).

Our first interview is with Tesse Akpeki, a BoardSource alumni and consultant who works in the area of NGO governance.
