Darlyn aims to empower the communities in their food production through this project and reduce malnutrition in the community of Constanza in the municipality of La Vega.</p> <p>This disruptive story continues beyond here. Darlyn won the <strong>La Vega National Youth Award</strong> in the area of contributions to human rights. These types of awards encourage young people to get involved in promoting solutions to local problems through their ideas. At the DIA Labs in the DR, this is what we are looking for; he defined them as <em>"a great opportunity for young people who have many ideas to have that initial push. First, with education and training on how to do business. Then, preparing to launch ourselves in the market with that innovative idea."</em></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="banner-citizen"> <div class="gridHalf"> <div class="left" style="background: url(/media/pages/home/banner-ejemplo-noticia.jpg); background-size: cover"> <div class="naui-overlay-container h-100"> <div class="naui-overlay box-center"> <div class="titulo"> Corporate Citizen of the<br>Americas Award </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="right"> <div class="align-self-center"> <p>In recognition of companies whose initiatives promote skills development and economic empowerment for women in the region</p> <a href="/citizen" class="btn btn-outline-primary">Apply here <i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="back-gris section-board pad"> <div class="container-fluid"> <h2 class="title text-center">Board of Directors</h2> <dd class="board-category"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> Executive committee</dd> <div class="boardGrid"> <a href="/about-us/enrique-garcia"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/enrique-garcia.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Enrique Garcia </dt> <dd>Chairman of the Board</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/susan-benson"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/susan-benson.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Susan Benson </dt> <dd>Founder of The Trust for the Americas, Secretary of the Board</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/june-dehart"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/june-dehart.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> June DeHart </dt> <dd>Partner, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div> <dd class="board-category"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> OAS Board Members</dd> <div class="boardGrid"> <a href="/about-us/Luis-Almagro"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/luis-almagro.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Luis Almagro </dt> <dd>Secretary General, Organization of American States</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/Javier-Arnaiz"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/javier-arnaiz.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Javier Arnaiz </dt> <dd>Treasurer of the Trust, Director of Financial and Administrative Management Services, Organization of American States</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/James-Lambert"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/james-lambert.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> James Lambert </dt> <dd>Secretary for Hemispheric Affairs, Organization of American States</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div> <dd class="board-category"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i> Board Members</dd> <div class="boardGrid"> <a href="/about-us/kim-meredith"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/Kim.png"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Kim Meredith </dt> <dd>Chief Executive Officer at San Francisco General Hospital Foundation</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/Rodrigo-Kede"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/Rodrigo-Kede-3.jpeg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Rodrigo Kede Lima </dt> <dd>President for Latin America and Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Corporation</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/carlos-julio-ardila"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/carlos-julio-ardila.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Carlos Julio Ardila </dt> <dd>President, Ardila Lulle Organization</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/mauricio-doehner"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/mauricio-doehner.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Mauricio Doehner </dt> <dd>Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Enterprise Risk Management, CEMEX</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/michael-lee-chin"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/michael-lee-chin.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Michael Lee-Chin </dt> <dd>Founder and Chairman, Portland Holdings</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/paul-dyck"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/paul-dyck.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Paul Dyck </dt> <dd>Vice President Global Government Affairs, Walmart</dd> </div> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/about-us/stanley-motta"> <div class="perfil naui-shadow"> <div> <img src="/media/team-members/stanley-motta.jpg"> </div> <div> <div> <dt> Stanley Motta </dt> <dd>CEO and President, Motta International, S.A.
