What is Uganda North American Association?

The Ugandan North American Association, (UNAA) is a not for profit
organization. The Board of Directors is composed of 12 members
headed by the President.

The immediate past Chairman, and any officer of the National
Committee, shall be ex-officio members of the Executive
Committee (Board of Directors) and shall serve as advisors to the
Executive Committee. The Executive Committee may from time
to time appoint, as needed, any other officer(s) to serve in
designated capacity.

The organization is a not-for-profit corporation predicated on the
premise that, we, the members living in North America, have unique
economic, social and cultural needs which can be served better and
fulfilled in our own Organization.

Association has successfully acquired its 501 (C) 3 status.
This means that specific contributions to UNAA by individuals
or organizations can now be claimed as tax exempt. The
avenues for more access to sponsorship have never been
wider. This has also raised the profile of our organization
an earned us the recognition of a true Not-for-Profit
Organization.

Programs: The organization may achieve its objectives
through regular conferences and meetings, networking
activities, professional and business development seminars
and workshops, theatrical productions on positive values,
fundraising activities to supplement operating capital,
and newsletters.

is an equal opportunity Association. It does not discriminate,
for membership purposes, on the basis of race, color, religion,
