Our Committees
The United Nations Association Boulder County has five committees that are dedicated to contributing to and improving social causes in Boulder County. The purpose of these committees is to identify social issues and gaps in services that require our attention. The members of these committees strive to study these causes and look for ways to improve outcomes and support the community in the best possible way.

The Communications & Digital Committee serves as UNA-BC’s communication engine, managing the systems and content that inform, engage, and mobilize our community. We ensure a consistent brand and voice across all platforms by overseeing the website, social media channels, and email newsletters. A key function is maintaining our editorial calendar in coordination with all other committees to promote events, advocacy actions, and programs effectively. We also develop messaging standards, manage digital assets like graphics templates, and share public-facing stories that highlight our chapter’s impact.
-
The Advocacy Committee mobilizes our community to advocate for strong U.S. engagement with the United Nations and UN-aligned human rights priorities. We focus on nonpartisan civic action through education and coordinated advocacy. Our work includes coordinating federal in-district meetings with Colorado’s congressional offices, supporting state and local civic engagement on issues connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and developing accessible action opportunities like letters to the editor, calls to officials, and public comment preparation. We also offer advocacy trainings, manage a story bank for testimony, and plan our signature International Human Rights Award annual event.
-
The Education & Learning Committee designs accessible learning experiences that help community members understand the UN, SDGs, and human rights in practical and action-oriented ways. We build UNA-BC's capacity to educate by developing training modules and curricula, coordinating the Bill Kellogg Speaker Series, and creating educational resources like primers and explainers. We also support intergenerational learning by coordinating our engagement with the International Model UN (IMUN) program and creating clear pathways for students.
-
The Membership & Community Engagement Committee builds and sustains welcoming pathways for people to move from initial interest into meaningful participation. We act as the organization’s “front door,” managing a clear intake and triage process for all inquiries. Our focus is on creating a warm and informative onboarding experience, connecting new members with clear next steps based on their interests. We also manage volunteer and intern pathways, scoping projects and supporting placements across all committees, and track engagement data to help the chapter learn and improve.
-
The UN & Global Affairs Committee advances our mission by curating high-quality programming and dialogue on UN issues and global affairs. We help make UNA-BC a trusted local hub for global awareness by developing public programs, speaker events, and blogs on topics connected to UN priorities and the SDGs. We also provide crucial support for our signature UN Day celebration. The committee focuses on translating complex global issues into locally relevant and accessible content for community audiences.
