Joe Thwaites Program Assistant
 Joe has a BA in Politics from the University of York, UK. Whilst there, he became involved with environmental campaigning, particularly on climate change, which led to him attending the 2008 UN climate change conference in Poland, as part of a Friends of the Earth delegation. His academic studies have reflected these concerns, focusing particularly on the international politics of climate change and the relationship between development aid and the environment. This relates to a more general interest in development economics, particularly drawing on Latin American and East Asian experiences. Joe has spent time volunteering for Citizens Advice Bureau as a social policy researcher and is a former editor of Young Quaker, the magazine of Young Friends General Meeting in the UK.
Molly Mitchell-Olds Program Assistant
Molly Mitchell-Olds spent her youth in Germany, returning to the United States for college where she studied Political Science at Earlham College with a particular focus on migration and international law. Over the years Molly has worked with both Amnesty International and local German NGOs to provide legal, cultural and economic assistance to refugees and asylum seekers in Germany. During a year in India, Molly conducted independent research on the effect of recent economic reforms on the prevalence of child labor practices. Molly looks forward to both her work at the U.N. and the dedicated exploration of New York’s affordable food.
Cathy Thomas Coordinator for Finance & Administration
 Cathy joined our staff in January 2002 after a technical career with Bell Labs and the U.S. Geological Survey. Besides her administrative responsibilities, she maintains the QUNO website.
Cathy's interest in Quaker support of the UN harks back to her own childhood experiences. She was a refugee from conflicts in both China and Korea before settling in post-war Japan and later, India.
Cathy is a birthright Friend and member of Chatham-Summit NJ Monthly Meeting. She holds a PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Maryland and earned a Masters in Computer Science while at the Labs.
