Dear PWNCR Members and Friends,
The past few months have been a whirlwind of activity for the Professional Women’s Network of Costa Rica! After two long years of staying home and virtual meetings, we have ventured out and had wonderful opportunities to connect in person once again.
We are gearing up for more exciting events throughout the rest of the year. Please scroll down for announcements of what events and activities are coming up.
I am so proud of all of us for making it through the past two and a half years of world-wide pandemic times – leaning on one another, advancing in our professional careers and learning new skills. A special thank you to each member of the Leadership Team and thank you to each member and friend of the PWNCR – your participation is what makes our network such a wonderful community!
Last but not least, I am simply thrilled to announce our newest member of the Leadership Team, our Director of Communications, Ana Guerrero. She will be instrumental in helping get communications out to you all and having clear messaging. Ana Guerrero is a Tica who has lived in Italy and England for many years, and worked for international organizations including the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). She has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and Marketing and, in her last role, was in charge of Marketing and Communications at the University for Peace (2017-2020). Ana is also a Vital Voices Mentor and an Official Translator (English-Spanish). A mother to a teenage daughter and a cat, Ana loves traveling, eating ethnic foods and learning about other cultures. Read more about her in her LinkedIn profile and be sure to follow her on Instagram.
Best Regards,
Sarah Joy Staude
President of the PWNCR
