The nominations application for a 2017-2018 New England Regional Representative to the National Council is open until January 10, 2017.
Candidates may nominate themselves or be nominated by a Chapter or individual member. Active chapter leadership is an essential qualification for effective National Council participation, as is experience in advocacy, communication or community involvement.
All candidates should be familiar with the primary responsibilities of Regional Representatives and agree to participate in regular National Council conference calls as well as two yearly in-person meetings, and to serving as an intermediary between their Regions and the national leadership in UNA-USA, the Better World Campaign and the UN Foundation.

This election is in accordance with the UNA-USA Standing Operating Procedures for filling a vacancy.

We extend our deepest sympathy to her family, the members of her chapter and the New England Region.
We hope you will consider serving UNA-USA as a Regional Representative or will nominate a colleague to serve and continue the work to which she and so many of us are dedicated. For more information regarding the requirements, please visit the UNA-USA website or contact us at nominations@unausa.org.
Sincerely,
