Welcome to the website for the Dallas Chapter of the United Nations Association of the United States of America (UNA USA), a non-for-profit, chapter-based membership organization committed to building understanding of and support for the ideals and vital work of the United Nations among the American people.

We are excited about the election of Barack Obama and his designation of Susan Rice as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. With this appointment, President Obama has signaled that the United States is committed to working collaboratively with sovereign, corporate and civic leaders around the world to help solve the myriad challenges facing humanity.

I encourage you to step up your advocacy and involvement in international affairs and be more active in our chapter by joining today- http://www.unausa.org/join ,come to events and plan new ones, join the board...we are open to your ideas and your energy.

UNA-USA is a national organization with headquarters in New York and chapters throughout the fifty states. UNA- USA Chapters work on educational and humanitarian campaigns, and at the national level, the UNA USA directs policy and advocacy programs that stress the importance of nations working together as well as the need for United States leadership in the United Nations.

Our Dallas chapter consists of a diverse group of citizens who work together to support and promote the goals of the United Nations. We believe in a strong US presence in the UN and support and encourage US involvement and leadership in the many UN related agencies and institutions that are working to combat the scourges of disaster, disease, hunger and poverty that continue to plague our planet. We partner with other groups to sponsor speaker events and undertake a wide range of activities to raise awareness about international issues.

Once again I would like to welcome you to our chapter and I encourage you to get involved. There are many ways to support the work of the UNA-USA and the Dallas Chapter - just click on the committee or topic of your interest and you will find the information you need to get started.

Thanks for your interest and I look forward to meeting you at one of our events soon!
