League Day at the United Nations
November 17, 2017 
Join League members and friends for a day exploring the United Nations and 
                 hearing from top  UN experts on current issues. 

On November 17, 2016, the League of Women Voters of New York State Education Foundation, in conjunction with the United Nations Department of Public Information, the Women's Bar Association of the State of NY and Zonta International District 4, is hosting its annual daylong event at the UN Headquarters in New York City. 

This year's briefing will include two topics: 
  • Sexual Violence in Conflict Areas 
  • Anti-Terrorism
The briefings will be presented by experts from the United Nations and provide information on the problems and the action being taken to assist in these global issues. 
 
As usual, we will offer tours of the newly renovated United Nations (come see the Security Council Room and the General Assembly Room, among other significant areas and exhibits) and lunch in the Delegates' Dining Room. 

A bus is available from the Capital Region with a stop at Exit 18 (New Paltz) on the Thruway. ( This wasn't included in original notice, but has been added again so join us on the bus, too!)
