We are grateful to them for their service to Quota.

4. Quota Participates in United Nations Panel

Quota’s Deputy Executive Director Nancy Fitzpatrick moderated a United Nations panel on the UN Millennium Development Goals last week and used the opportunity to promote Quota International and our Club-to-Club World Service program. The attendees were staff members of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) based in Washington , DC , and the room was filled! Nancy was invited due to her role as a member of the UNA-USA Council of Organizations Executive Committee. She distributed information about our Club-to-Club World Service projects which was great publicity for our work in developing countries.
