Meet the UNA-USA National Council

The UNA-USA National Council operates as the elected volunteer leadership of the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA-USA), a program of the United Nations Foundation. The National Council works closely with UNA-USA National Office staff to strengthen programs and initiatives such as membership, chapter engagement, legislative advocacy, events and communications. The National Council meets in-person twice a year (February at Global Engagement Summit at the UN and June at the UNA-USA Leadership Summit) and meets virtually on all other months. 

About the National Council

The National Council meets twice a year, once during the June Leadership Summit and once in New York in early February; its working groups and subcommittees conduct business year-round by email and conference call in preparation for their semi-annual meetings.  In addition to overseeing these elections, the National Council works on issues of membership, legislative advocacy, web and social media, external communications, education, WFUNA, and the Council of Organizations. It makes recommendations to UNA-USA staff and to delegates at the Annual Meeting. Regional Representatives also work with staff to assist chapters and to help resolve issues that may arise during the year.
