Episode 1: Travis Ning from MAIA Impact and Proximate Leadership

Travis Ning is the former ED of MAIA Impact. MAIA Impact is redefining the word school and rural Guatemala through a holistic educational model with an equal focus on academics, culture, and identity creating a generation of empowered girl pioneers.

We always say that in mission-driven organizations we want to work ourselves out of a job. Travis Ning, former ED of MAIA Impact, has achieved that . MAIA Impact’s work is still needed and relevant, but their goal has always been to develop Mayan leaders to take the program on. Having Mayan leadership direct the program means the leaders are now proximate to the problems they are trying to solve. They have successfully transitioned leadership to two extraordinary Mayan women and we are going to talk to Travis about he got there.
