The event featured the participation of over 20 members of the JSCA Alumni Network from Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Central America.

Finally, JSCA reiterates its invitation to all interested institutions and operators to participate in the development of the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan by taking part in the Virtual Consultation, which will be available online until May 11.
