Dear Colleagues at UNA-SF:

Allow me to wish you all the success in the world as you begin your 2010 activities. Yours was the first chapter/division I visted when I took over at UNA-USA six months ago. I was quite impressed with your programs, your energy, and your creativity then and remain so now. You set the standard for the entire organization and should rightfully be proud of all you have done.

As we move into 2010, I believe we have a lot to be optimistic about: an Administration that believes in the value of multilateral diplomacy, a national organization that continues to connect the American people with the important work of the United Nations, and a vibrant grassroots membership that is both our lifeblood and our uniqueness. Whether it be Global Classromms/Model UN, our important work in the human rights area, our leadership on ICC issues, our efforts to get the Administration to sign on to many conventions/traeties, our widely acclaimed publications and webpage, or our efforts to help the UN help itself, UNA-USA is that indespensible player in this country that helps the American people understand the important work of the United Nations. Chapters and divisions like yours are that key link in this entire process.

Please accept my congratulations for all you do and my best wishes for the coming year.

All the best,

Tom Miller

President/CEO

UNA-USA
