Does this sentence make sense?
"She's one of the longest-standing UN Goodwill Ambassadors."
Note By this, I think I said 'she's one of the oldest...', it would be implied that she's one of those who still performs that role, and is already over 80 or so...
But I mean she's one who had been performing that role for most time, such as for more than 20 years.

Re: longest-standing
Yes, or "longest-serving".
