From Mel Boynton, Pomona Valley UNA-USA President:

SoCal Division UNA-USA was well represented at the national meeting in New
York, March 1-4. Besides attending four days of human rights, organization,
refugee, and peace issue sessions, the SoCal attendees worked together on
our action plan and furthering friendships. Highlights included a meeting
with Assistant Secretary General Bob Orr and members day at the UN. Our own
David Tuckman was honored with the prestigious "Global Young Advocate Award"
at the Friday banquet. Here are just a few snapshots.
