Social Sciences - Government / Politics / Guatemala // Xeljú
Spanish term or phrase: junta directiva
Any suggestions re how to translate this term with a political context, other than as "Board of Directors". I had thought of "Governing Body", but my client is not entirely convinced this works.

Xeljú is an indigenous political organization in Guatemala.

Here is an example of the use of the term:

La junta directiva de comité cívico, Xeljú, se siente orgullosa que junto a su candidato a alcalde, Jordán Rodas Andrade, se integre una planilla de personas afines al grupo y sean una opción para llegar al palacio de piedra de donde salieron en el 2004, con más pena que gloria con los atropellos y abusos de poder del ex alcalde Rigoberto Quemé Chay.

governing committee/ leadership council
Explanation:
Hola Robert,

Entiendo la razón por la cual no desearían que se traduzca como "board", tiene que ver con la filosofía detras, igual que en otra pregunta que hoy se presentó en KudoZ, tiene que ver con que las compañias y sus "boards" tienen "stockholders", y estas organizaciones tienen "concejos" "comités" "juntas" etc, donde las personas son "stakeholders" y representan a los stakeholders, son los interesados y los que estan en la función directiva son los "depositarios" de la confianza del resto de la comunidad;

Te presento dos opciones, pueden haber más...

Civic Committee Leaders


Explanation:
Education in Latin America

Even more significant was the victory of several Mayan civic committees in local races. The victory of the Xelju civic committee, under the leadership of Kiche'e "public intellectuals" Rigoberto Queme Chay and Ricardo Cajas, in Guatemala's second city, Quetzaltenango, the metropolis of the country's indigenous heartland, was so important because it symbolized precisely the metamorphosis of an indigenous civic-cultural organization into a political machine. Significantly, the 1999 Quetzaltenango Mayor's annual report deals with both traditional indigenous issues such as bilingual education and the Mayan university project and more mundane matters of local governance such as paving streets and supplying water to the city. Warren touches briefly upon the 1996 racist anti-Queme graffiti campaign while neglecting the much more important reality of these Mayan public intellectuals in power.
