Thanks to a Global Innovation Grant from the American Chemical Society Committee on International Activities (IAC) was possible to organize the first ACS Faculty Advisors meeting from Latin America and the Caribbean. The event was held in the city of Antigua, Guatemala with the participation of Faculty Advisors from International Student Chapters in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Perú, Colombia, and Brazil.

The event was organized by Prof. Santiago Sandí (Pomona College & University of Costa Rica), Prof. Carol Guzmán (from Universidad de San Carlos in Guatemala), Dr. Gabriel Monzón and myself.

During the two-days event it was possible to look for new strategies to support the professional development of our student members, create a platform of Latin American and the Caribbean (LATAM+C) Faculty Advisors and build a network between our regional Student Chapters. Moreover, we had a space to present our Chapter goals, difficulties, growing strategies, and future perspectives.
