MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: MEET THE MAKERS OF CHANGE
Javier Zarazua Ruiz
Mexico Country Manager, CSCMP.org
Mexico Regional Board President, AME.org
“AME has been working to establish AME Mexico for more than a decade, and last year, that vision finally became a reality. When I asked Javier to serve as AME Mexico’s very first Regional President, he enthusiastically said yes. As with many of our AME volunteers, I had high expectations and Javier has far exceeded them.
Today, AME Mexico has an incredible group of world-class volunteer board members and is hosting webinars in Spanish, expanding opportunities for our members and friends across Mexico and around the globe to learn, share, and grow together.
Thank you, Javier, for your leadership, your commitment, and for helping bring AME Mexico to life!”
– Kim Humphrey, AME International President & CEO
