Vinicio Cerezo, former President of Guatemala


The campus community and the public at large are invited to attend the upcoming Vicente Fox Forum of World Leaders at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12 in the BLUU. Vinicio Cerezo, former President of Guatemala, is guest speaker.

Cerezo is a Guatemalan lawyer and politician who spent more than 20 years fighting to establish democracy in his country. He was Guatemala’s first democratically elected president and its first civilian president since 1966. He was responsible for the revival and modernization of the economy, and he was the creator, promoter and one of the signatories of the Esquipulas Peace Agreement.

Called the Central American Ambassador by many, Cerezo currently focuses his experience and energy in creating an awareness that allows Central America to be made a strategic region in the world. An international speaker, he is co-creator of the Social Agenda for Democracy in Latin America, a permanent member of the Forum of Biarritz, a member of The Carter Center, a member of the Ocean Security International initiative and a member of the Global Peace Foundation.

Fort Worth ISD and TCU students may also attend the Fox Forum series. Contact Nancy Styles at n.styles@tcu.edu to make a reservation.
