UKRAINIAN WOMAN IN TWO WORLDS 1986 Conference The initial “ Ukrainian Woman in Two Worlds” Confer ence was held October 1982 at the Soyuzivka resort in upstate New York. Approximately 600 women attended the meetings. The feedback from the participants was overwhelmingly positive. Based on responses from ques tionnaires submitted to the attendees during and after the proceedings: 98% said the conference met or sur passed their expectations; 97% stated they would attend similar meetings in the future. Responding to this positive feedback, the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America (UNWLA) will sponsor a similar conference, scheduled for October 4th and 5th, 1986 in Princeton, New Jersey. The 1982 conference was a unique experience for many who attended. It gave women of Ukrainian herit age an opportunity to share ideas and opinions with one another and to learn more about each other. The con ference was a positive step in learning how to deal with the complex issues that face us as Ukrainian women and the Ukrainian community as a whole. It brought to light our common interests and concerns. However, those discussions merely touched the surface. Many issues were raised, but few resolutions were voiced. This is not surprising since complex issues cannot be resolved in a weekend. The 1986 conference is intended to pick up where the 1982 conference left off. The UNWLA Executive Branch has entrusted a com mittee of young women the task of organizing this con ference. Some of these women are members of the UNWLA, while others are not. Furthermore, the varied backgrounds of committee members bring a balance that reflects our community as a whole. The committee is chaired by Nadia Nynka. The vice-chairwoman is Zenia Brozyna, who also heads up the program sub committee. For the past several months, Ms. Brozyna and her subcommittee, comprised of Dora Horba- chevska, Oka Hrycak, Nilia Pawluk and Tanya Rozka, have been at work planning topics and contacting peo ple to serve as panel moderators, panelists, and work shop leaders. The subcommittee has taken an interesting approach in planning panel discussions. In analyzing the many issues of interest to women four major categories have been established: family, community, work, and self. The first panel discussion of the conference will present these four aspects of a woman’s life. It will set the stage. From there, individual panel discussions will expand upon topics covered in the introductory panel. All pan els and workshops will fall into one of these four categories. Under the category of “family” the following panels will be held. Parenting: the issues under consideration will be preschool childcare and language development, single parenting, teenage-related issues such as alco hol, drug abuse and suicides. Care of Aged Parents: The dilemma of old age homes versus homecare, avail ability of Ukrainian nursing homes, and loneliness. The Younger Generation : In this panel college-age students will discuss bilingualism and other bicultural issues. The following panels are planned under the category of “Ukrainian Society”. Women and the Political Scene will discuss the need for political awareness and the means for influencing American legislative bodies. Ukra inians or Americans — Who are We?: Representatives of different emigrations, or their descendents, discuss the contribution made to Ukrainian society as well as their problems and frustrations. Our Community and Beyond: Ukrainian women outside the mainstream of Ukrainian society will discuss their views of the community. The category “self” will deal with topics relating to more personal issues. Stress Reduction: will discuss increased stress in our daily lives. Separation and Divorce will analyze legal ramifications and the need for support networks. Reaganomics — How it Can Work for You will offer financial advice on establishing credit his tories, investing, etc. Under the category of "work”, there will be one panel and two workshops. The Working Woman panel will discuss how to prepare oneself for a job interview, the impact of a written resume, networking, career planning and working for Ukrainian business establishments. Positive Self-Image is a workshop which, will give prac tical advice on developing self-confidence and increas ing one’s assertiveness. Writing Resumes is a practical workshop focusing on resume-writing do’s and don’ts. These panels will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 4th and 5th. Additionally, there will be two pre conference workshops held on Friday, October 3rd. A separate registration will apply to these workshops. Although oriented to organizational issues, all are wel come to attend the two scheduled workshops: Effective Public Relations and Organizational Fundraising.
