New York, NY… The Long Island Organization Group UNA-USA, United Nations Association of the United States, have been in business since 2020 and is a non-profit 501 C3. The group have 84 members and growing. Its President and CEO is Maxvel Rose, Its Treasurer Dave Alexandre. Both believe that the chapter is best for Long Island right now. The chapter services throughout LI. Rose and Alexandre together have twenty years of government and banking experience with non-profit organizations.
According to Rose, the relevancy of the Foundation is vital to Long Island because the United Nations is relevant. The Foundation is important because Long Island have never had anything like it before. He said, ” I believe it’s a movement and as Americans, we believe that in our interest and values we can be best advance by standing with the Planet’s only timely universal institution. I want this UNA, LI Foundation Chapter, to help Long Islanders. We can impact by connecting with other strong institutions such as those doing the same work as we are.”
Rose, who’s in his late 30s, further iterated that they want to share different views and opinions of people who live on Long Island and their relationships, toward the United Nations. “It’s to force dialog and awareness as well as to coordinate with organizations within the UN. There are no variables hindering us currently from gaining what we need. In hindsight maybe just a few nuts and bolts needed,” Rose explained.
“Has a person you should just serve the less fortunate. To run a non-profit is epic for me because of its other Chapters. I describe our Foundation as steadily engaging. In five years, we should be the catalysis for change in the community and the go to organization,” expressed Rose.
Significantly, Treasurer, Alexandre also pointed out that UNA-USA, Long Island, do lots of great work all over the country. For him, he said it’s great to give back to people so they can have access to different information as well as cases for information. He noted that the bottom line is to give back.
“The goal for us is to educate people in the community. We have a nationwide network to impact our communities and villages on Long Island. Every initiative is fundamentally different, Literacy and Human Rights. For example, one member’s husband is held in Turkey for 4 years, now and we are helping to get him out through the Women’s Empowerment Initiatives. We want everyone to have the same opportunity, a level playing field,” Alexandre explained.
“My job description in the Foundation, is making sure all the resources are there for people who need it or lacking for service. Knowing that mothers can drop off their children and not have to spend $100 and they are safe, is a goal,” said the Treasurer. Alexandre who’s more than qualify for the position he’s placed in, said his Tener experiences has a Banker and Financial Advisor, allows him to do the work right now. “Nothing to gain, I worked in the Finance Industry, for a decade…so I can step in and help,” he conceded.
“In addition, our President Maxvel stated the fact that we have 84 members right now. We would like to grow our chapter membership to 250 people per year. That will make the next five years 1, 250 members. So far so good. We are averaging 20 new members per month. We hope and inspire to be as big as the UNA Chapter in New York City. I want to help my local communities, not per say my gaining anything,” Alexandre finished.
