Gustavo Correa is a former member of the Universal House of Justice, the supreme governing institution of the Baháʼí Faith. He was first elected to a five year term in 2008, and served a second term until 2018.[1] and was reelected in 2013.[2] He was previously the Director and one of the founders of FUNDAEC, a Baha'i-inspired development organization in Colombia.[3]

FUNDAEC

Gustavo Correa was one of the founders of FUNDAEC (Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences) and later served as its Director. FUNDAEC was established in 1974 by a group of professors at the University of Valle in Colombia who were looking for new strategies to develop the capacities of people and to generate knowledge in isolated regions of the country.[4] In 2002, as its Director, Correa accepted an award on behalf of FUNDAEC from the Club of Budapest which recognized FUNDAEC's new rural education model.[3]
