UNA Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is made up of outstanding professionals from our community.
We carefully consider skills, attributes, organizational size, and regional representation when recruiting new members. Each year, all board members agree to our Conflict of Interest disclosures, and those handling our bank accounts undergo background checks.
We want to express our gratitude to all current and past UNA Board Members. Their guidance and advice have been instrumental in shaping the organization.
