Jaime Echeverri introducing the chapter
The TCI Latin American Chapter Ad-Hoc Committee is responsible for its strategic orientation according to emerged challenges from previous CLACs (TCI´s Latin American Cluster Conferences) and TCI Global Conferences.
In June 2016, on the occasion of the 9CLAC in Temuco, the Committee was partially renewed as follows: one representative of the TCI Secretariat, one member of the TCI Board of Directors and delegates from active organizational and individual members from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay.
The Chapter thanks the former members of the Committee, Julián Goñi (Chile), Orlando DiGiuseppe (Argentina), Marco Llinás (Colombia), Marco Kamiya (Peru) and Mônica Segantini (Brazil) for their active participation and welcomes the new members and countries to this working group.
