Juan was the VP of Leagues and is now the current President of SATA. Juan has served as SATA’s president for nearly two years, aligning the mission with the board’s goals and fostering a cohesive team.
Treasurer
Nominee: Maria Guerra
Maria Guerra is a SATA league and tournament player. She held the interim CFO position for the nonprofit RAICES during a time of significant change. She volunteered with the organization and was asked to step in when the board made a change. Her tenure was supposed to be until they hired a new CFO. It took almost a year to find the person they ultimately hired. During her time there, she set up controls, SOPs, trained staff on proper accounting procedures, and created repeatable automated financial reports for the organization and all of their grantors. The organization was a 7-million-dollar nonprofit that grew over night to an 80-million-dollar organization. There were significant growth challenges that required the organization to run more professionally and more efficiently. When Maria left, the staff was fully trained, the audits were completed for the 2 prior years and on track for the current year, all 990’s were up to date and filed. In addition, all grantors had the record keeping in place that was required of the organization. Maria has served in a consulting capacity for SATA (mainly with the ED late 2024 through now). She brings significant accounting and C-suite experience along with board experience in the private and nonprofit sectors. Maria feels she can help set up the financial reporting and monitoring systems to assist the stakeholders and the organization as a whole.
