Previous Board Members

Since the late 1970s, USFUVG has benefited from the dedicated leadership of men and women who have served on the Board of Directors. Their dedication and hard work has made a significant contribution not only to the US Foundation of the University of the Valley of Guatemala but also to the University itself and to the future of education in Guatemala. USFUVG is most grateful for their board service.
