Our Structure
The Chechnya Advocacy
Network (CAN) was created in early 2004 to provide a more formal structure
to existing groups of activists and people interested in learning
about and helping the victims of the war in Chechnya. We have since
attracted new friends and members, many of them experts on Chechnya
in their own right or with impressive backgrounds in relevant advocacy,
humanitarian, legal and developmental work. CAN is currently a volunteer-based
network, but aims to become a professionally operated non-governmental
organization in due time. We anticipate receiving 501 (c) 3 status
in the course of 2007.
Our
Board of Directors:
- Michaela
Pohl, PhD (Poughkeepsie, NY)
- Amrina Sugaipova
(Portland, OR)
- Michael Dennis
(Austin, TX and Tbilisi, Georgia)
Our
Membership Groups:
