MYAD’s Structure

After our period of recruitment this year in September, MYAD will welcome 17 new members. In total, 22 UN Commission delegates will develop policy recommendations which they will present at UN Commissions. In addition, nine Ad-Hoc members provide input on UN body documents and represent MYAD at virtual conferences.

United Nations Commissions

Each year, MYAD is represented at three UN Commissions held at the UN Headquarters in NYC! After months of hardwork involving the development of policy recommendations and written statements, delegates will meet with other NGOs and Permanent Missions for a week in the big apple.
