The Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of UNA-UK. It is responsible for ensuring effective and sustainable operation against UNA-UK's mission and charity best practice. All members of the Board are paid-up members of UNA-UK.
The Board meets approximately four times per year. At these meetings, the Board agrees upon UNA-UK's strategic priorities and objectives; agrees upon UNA-UK's policies and plans in alignment with the strategy; and monitors progress against the strategy.
The Articles of Association set out the number of directors, how they are to be elected or appointed and the terms of office. A full list of UNA-UK's Trustees is available here.

Conference Committee
The Conference Committee is a volunteer body of members responsible for coordinating the Annual Conference, a members and supporters-led discussion forum. It is an opportunity for members and supporters to gather each year and discuss the issues they find most pressing. The Annual Conference consists of a series of attendee-led discussions on UN-related topics submitted in advance by attendees. Topics can be any area of international concern within the UN’s remit and do not need to be one of the existing UNA-UK campaign priorities.

Chair: Arash Nassouri
