Next Gen Sintercafe – SINTERCAFE

Next Generation SINTERCAFE is an initiative that seeks to bring together the new generations of the coffee industry in countries of origin in the Central American region under the support of Sintercafé.

The main objective is to offer the new generations of the industry a source of information, contacts and professional growth, both on the producer and buyer side.

In addition, Next Gen SINTERCAFE will seek to create ties with the European and US chapters in order to create a network for the transfer of information and commercial relationships.

Mission

The NEXT GEN SINTERCAFE ORIGEN chapter will be a group of people that will be able to identify those representatives from the region that have the potential to be leaders within the coffee industry in countries of origin and the Central American region, including Mexico and Panama.

We will encourage this community to participate more actively in SINTERCAFE and other educational and leadership events, in order to provide the industry with people prepared to lead the future of the industry.

This council will be responsible for setting the strategic direction of the council and the group in general, and will work closely with Sintercafé’s Board of Directors. It will consist of a president, vice president and 5 members, with the idea of having representation from all countries in the Central American region, Mexico and Panama. **

**The council must have a permanent member of Sintercafe’s Board of Directors. This will be elected by the Sintercafe Board members.

This council may invite other next gen members to serve on committees to help develop the established strategic plan.
