Professionals July 27, 2011 Gemma Juan-Simó Embracing the UNA-USA vision of "A world in which humanity is spared the scourge of war, human rights are honored, the natural environment is protected and the United States is a constructive member of the United Nations for the well-being of all humankind," SF Young Professionals is devoted to educating and mobilizing young professionals at the local level to support the universal principles and work of the UN. The committee held a meeting on July 21, 2011 to welcome new volunteers, discuss a strategic plan for the upcoming year, and brainstorm future events. During the meeting, SF Young Professionals established its immediate objectives for Fall 2011, which include hosting a social event to raise initial awareness, reach out to the community, and encourage individuals with an interest to become involved as members. As new volunteers join and the committee expands, SF Young Professionals plans to establish networking opportunities, initiate an internship program for students, and conduct fundraising efforts to ensure its continued mission and success in educating the American public about UN-identified global issues that concern us all. To this end, SF Young Professionals is seeking to engage young professionals in its ongoing projects and discussions of international affairs, and provides an exciting opportunity to interact with like-minded individuals from all walks of life in learning more about current UN issues and the work of UNA-USA. While all are welcome, YP members are typically between the ages of 21-40 and compose a diverse group of individuals with backgrounds in business, law, government, nonprofit, the arts, and philanthropy. If you are a young professional and would like to learn more about YP activities in the San Francisco area, we encourage you to email us at: unasfyp@gmail.com. |
