• All documents are translated because 80 per cent of the association members only speak Spanish.


• The presidium is informed of all matters and the president is copied on the up-to-date information, as is the WACS website


• Latin American members are facing much economic difficulty due to the high cost of the annual contribution. Many have unstable economies with little support from the government. Another reason is that the associations are new, have a limited history, and have limited resources.
