N.Y. Chapter Spotlight: Janet Nixon
PPSEAWA/New York takes pride in the recognition accorded to our member, Janet Nixon, by the NGO Section of the United Nations Department of Public Information when she was invited to speak at two important meetings held at United Nations Headquarters.Ms. Nixon has an extensive career in international diplomacy which includes postings to the American Embassies in Europe, Asia and Latin America; and serving as the Chief of Protocol for the US Mission to the United Nations. Currently, she is a PPSEAWA representative to UNICEF (The UN Children's Fund) and has been both - a primary and alternate PPSEAWA representative for PPSEAWA/USA and an alternate representative for PPSEAWA International.
On 1 July 1997, PPSEAWA member Janet Nixon, a New York-based etiquette and protocol consultant, addressed representatives from fifty newly-accredited Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) on the topic of "Representing Your Organization At Your Best." She was later invited to be one of three guest speakers at the 12 September Midday Dialogues session of the Fiftieth Annual Department of Public Information NGO Conference, entitled "Building Partnerships," held at the United Nations Headquarters from 10-12 September 1997. Ms. Nixon was asked to speak on the topic "Etiquette Counts: The Image Affects the Message." Both of Ms. Nixon's UN presentations were attempts to raise the awareness of the attendees about some social indiscretions - most of which are purely unintentional - which can stand in the way of our accomplishing our objectives and cast a shadow on our individual organizations and on NGOs in general.
