Subject: GIS is proud to welcome two new board members!🎉

Welcome Sergio Chacon and Jenice Pizzuto to the GIS Board!

Upon his nomination for a board position, Sergio said:

“It would be an honor to be able to participate as part of the GIS board to be able to contribute with my experience in the practice of implementation in Latin America and strengthen the presence of the "southern gaze" on the board. Additionally, with my experience as head of NGOs I can contribute in the field of management to continue strengthening the work of GIS.”

Sergio is a psychologist with a master's degree in social and community psychology. He has 27 years of experience in designing and implementing programs for people in situations of social exclusion through my work in NGOs. He has worked in the public sector and in parallel Sergio has worked as an academic in several universities. In addition, he is an international trainer for the Drug Advisory Programme of The Colombo Plan and he has been a consultant for CICAD OAS, Chile's National Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Rehabilitation Service. Sergio is currently the Director of the Latin American GIS Hub.

Jenice has a passion for contributing to the world of implementation through education, the involvement of implementers, and simplifying the science for others. After years of seeing innovation efforts of high-quality, evidence-based practices fail, she dedicated herself to impacting the "implementation gap" by helping build implementation literacy across sectors globally. 

We can get results that impact humans and societies in positive ways when we apply implementation and improvement science to world problems. It is her mission to demystify the sciences and shine a light on effective implementation to impact lives and improve outcomes.


Jenice Pizzuto is currently an Implementation Specialist, Consultant and Collaborator with her own company Impact Learn and Lead. Her skills of facilitation, adult learning presentation, data-driven decision making and results focus have lead her to provide outstanding support to a variety of clients primarily in the education sector. She is an experienced facilitator and coach and has served in a variety of leadership positions. Jenice has an advanced degree in Education and holds licenses for teaching and administration. She is an innovative and creative professional. She is skilled at serving educators and nonprofits with experience in designing, leading and supporting large and small conferences and learning events.

We look forward to working together with our new board members to continue working towards our shared goals and vision for the future of GIS!


Thank you for your participation and support of GIS!
