DALLAS (June 23, 2015) – Earlier this week Norma Keller, of Tyrone, was presented with the Albert Goodman Award for Lifetime Achievement, given by the United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA). The award recognizes Ms. Keller for her commitment to strong U.S.-UN relations, and was presented at a ceremony at the United Nations Foundation office in Washington, D.C. on June 8th.
“Norma Keller is a most deserving recipient of the Albert Goodman Award for Lifetime Achievement,” said UNA-USA Centre County Chapter President Robert Lumley Sapanski “Through her decades of dedicated service with UNA-USA, Ms. Keller is a passionate advocate for peace and justice throughout the world.”
The award was presented to Ms. Keller during the Annual Meeting of UNA-USA. More than 200 UNA-USA members gathered in Washington, D.C. for three days of experience-sharing and workshops, consultations, meetings and receptions. The meeting culminated with an Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, with more than 100 constituent meetings by UNA-USA members with their House and Senate representatives.
The award is named after another Wisconsin-based advocate for the UN and UNA-USA, the late Albert Goodman of Racine, who is a former chair of the Wisconsin Governor's Commission on the UN.
