The 2023 Ruth Steinkraus-Cohen Memorial Lecture has been postponed. We are currently working with our partner, the United Nations Association of Southwestern Connecticut, to identify a new date and time to hold the event.

To honor UN Day, the United Nations Association of Southwestern Connecticut will hold its second Ruth Steinkraus-Cohen Memorial Lecture on international affairs.
The Southwestern Connecticut Chapter of the United Nations Association has been promoting the ideals and work for the United Nations for more than 60 years. Its founder, Ruth Steinkraus-Cohen, worked tirelessly to support the UN. She established June Day, when Westport welcomes the staff and delegates of the UN, in 1965. The downtown bridge is named in her honor and the member nations' flags fly each United Nations Day. The chapter plans to bring a topical and thought-provoking speaker each year to The Westport Library on United Nations Day.
