FIATA Foundation
Just before the World Congress 2001 in Cancún and on the occasion of FIATA's 75th Anniversary, the Presidency of FIATA decided to mark this particular event with the creation of the FIATA Foundation Vocational Training, an institution which aims to assist Associations in less privileged countries to build up and enhance professional skill in the industry.
The Management Committee of the Foundation coordinates the fundraising activities, evaluates the applications for funds and helps the Associations on the implementation of Training projects.

Famous quotes containing the word foundation:
“The most excellent and divine counsel, the best and most profitable advertisement of all others, but the least practised, is to study and learn how to know ourselves. This is the foundation of wisdom and the highway to whatever is good.... God, Nature, the wise, the world, preach man, exhort him both by word and deed to the study of himself.”
—Pierre Charron (1541–1603)
