The United Nations in a Changing World, Senator Timothy Wirth at The City Club of Cleveland

CLEVELAND: Senator Timothy E. Wirth, president of the United Nations Foundation and Better World Fund, will speak about the role of the United Nations in a changing world at noon on Friday, December 1, 2006, at The City Club of Cleveland.

The United Nations Foundation and Better World Fund was established through a major financial commitment from R.E. Turner to support and strengthen the work of the United Nations.

Since their inception in 1998, Wirth has organized and led the formulation of the foundation’s mission and program priorities, which include the environment, women and population, children’s health and peace, security and human rights. The foundation also engages in extensive public advocacy, resource mobilization, and institutional strengthening efforts on behalf of the UN.
