UN Day Sponsors and Committee

[ Printable Page ]

UNA-GB would like to thank the many organizations, businesses and individuals who make the annual United Nations Day commemoration activities possible. Each year, prominent Bostonians affirm their commitment to the principles of the United Nations, and to continuing dialogue on the UN and world affairs. These individuals form our UN Day Honorary Committee, this year chaired by Cambridge College President Malesh Sharma. Additionally, vital support is provided by our UN Day Luncheon Sponsors, also listed below. Special thanks to the 2005 UN Day Honorary Committee and Luncheon Sponsors, as the United Nations celebrates it's 60th year providing a forum for international cooperation, and making strides toward peace and development.
