Social Impact Imperative

Chick Boss was founded in 2010 for the purpose of economically elevating people from the Petén region of Guatemala through training and living wage employment. We look for people with no prior experience. We know that anyone can be trained if they an eye for detail, an open mind and good work ethic.

Why the name «Chick Boss»?

About the name: «Chick Boss» is a nickname I was given by my friend Bob Brayden an outwardly gruff but lovely man who used to work for me. He called me «CB» for years, before anyone figured out what it meant. But the name also fits with our intent to empower women to take charge of their lives, destiny and look.
