PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS PLANNED O c to b e r 3, 1986 19 3 6 On October 4 and 5, 1986 the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America will sponsor a second "Ukrainian Woman in Two Worlds” conference which will deal with the challenges and problems women face as they seek to achieve success in American society and the wholeness of (being that comes from preserving the Ukrainian spirit in their families and communities. Throughout Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5 a total of twelve panels will be held. These will focus on the Ukrainian woman’s relationship with her family and community. Panel topics will deal with parenting, care of aged parents, a discussion of how women view the Ukrainian community and women’s involvement in the American political process. On Friday, October 3, two pre-conference work shops will be held. These will focus on the prepared ness of Ukrainian society to champion Ukrainian causes within American society. For example, during the recent Chornobyl tragedy many challenges were presented to Ukrainian-Americans working in the field of media and public relations. Many of us could have helped had we known how to go about it. On October 3rd a pre conference workshop will be held offering practical hands-on experience dealing with media and public relations. This workshop will address several key skills: how to write press releases, organize telephone cam paigns, and sharpen one’s public speaking skills. The workshop, entitled “Ukrainian PR: An Orchestra Out of Tune”, is being directed by Andrij Bilyk. Dr. Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak will introduce this workshop by discussing the current situation in Ukraine, and the pol itical, social and cultural activities of Ukrainians in the United States. This workshop will include an assignment to be completed prior to the conference. “The idea”, said Mr. Bilyk, “is for each participant to build a wealth of experience in advance of the conference about how the media views Ukraine and Ukrainians.” Following the workshop participants will be encouraged to use their summerlong involvement with the media to help “tune” the Ukrainian message. To register for this pre-confer ence workshop and receive an assignment return the conference registration form as soon as possible as the number of participants will be limited.
