Being a member of The United
Nations Association is
an excellent way to take a stand for world peace, justice, prosperity, and
progress.
Collectively we can do more
than we can individually
and by volunteering to serve on one or more of the Division's committees,
members help make an even greater difference!
And they are associating with
interesting like-minded members!
The following is a list of our
committees and a summary of their functions.
Members are enthusiastically
invited to volunteer by sending us a request
