Maya Traditions Founder Wins Outstanding Service to the Fair Trade Community Award

Last month, at the Boston Fair Trade Futures Conference, our Founder, Jane Mintz was awarded the Special Award: Outstanding Service to the Fair Trade Community. 
The award was given "In memory of Jane's boundless commitment to changing the lives of women in Guatemala through the preservation of traditional weaving and the expansion of economic opportunities."
Our friend (and co-owner of the enormously successful fair-trade wholesale business Global Crafts) Renice Jones accepted the award on Jane´s behalf. 
We are honored that Jane´s dedication to our Guatemalan artisans, as well as her hard work in so many other areas (education, health, and poverty to name a few) have been recognized. 
Jane is still our thoughts and hearts as we work to continue what she began so many years ago. 
Thank you to the FTF for your recognition.
