UN Day Events

"The United Nations is not just a meeting place for diplomats. The United Nations is a peacekeeper disarming fighters, a health worker distributing medicine, a relief team aiding refugees, a human rights expert helping deliver justice."

-Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

 

In honor of United Nations Day (October 24th), UNA-GB spearheads a number of local events to engage the public in recognizing the anniversary of the United Nations.

These events include:


UNA-GB's annual UN Day Luncheon gathers leaders from the business, policy, and academic communities in the Greater Boston area for an engaging dialogue on world affairs and an opportunity to network with other globally conscious individuals and organizations.  Each year, the Luncheon features a high-profile UN speaker who helps lead the discussion on how the UN can positively impact trade, development and human rights initiatives around the world.  Funds raised at the UN Day Luncheon directly support UNA-GB's community events and classroom-based programs.
