Meet the Directors of Academies 

Our Directors have expertise in health, sports and public relations.

 

Some are athletes, others are professors or doctors. Some have been Focal Points with the Alliance since 2007 while others have joined the organization later but they all have one thing in common: they are firm supporters of the Alliance Initiative in their country.
