Who We Are
Our Team and Board of Directors
At Baytna, we are proud to work with qualified, knowledgeable, and driven people who are dedicated to the empowerment of Syrian civil society - on our staff, our training partners, and on our Board of Directors.
The main team is now at our new headquarters in Brussels, with several colleagues working in Turkey. We also have many team members working inside Syria; for their own security, we cannot reveal their locations or their personal details.
