Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League o f America Vol. LVII SEPTEMBER 2000 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT I am pleased to report that we have lived to see another wonderful event in the life of the Ukrainian women's movement, an event which took place at the 29th General Assembly of the International Council of Women (ICW) held from July 2 to July 8, 2000 in Helsinki, Finland. Attending the conference as delegates of the National Council of Women/USA were Maria Tomorug, First Vice-President of the UNWLA, and UNWLA President Iryna Kurowyckyj, who participated as the ICW's New York representative to the United Nations. The delegation from Ukraine included Iryna Holubieva, President of the National Council of Women of Ukraine, and ten observers representing various organizations. Observers from Canada were Oksana Sokolyk, President of The World Federation of Ukrainian Women's Organizations, and WFUWO Vice President Volodymyra Luchkiw. Maria Komamycka, former president of the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada, also attended as an observer. For Ukrainian women, the 29th ICW conference had special significance. One of the prerequisites of the ICW Charter is that membership is granted to National Councils representing women of independent nations, and during the 6th ICW conference held in Washington, DC in 1925, the National Council of Women of Ukraine lost its membership status because Ukraine had lost its independence. In July 2000, for the first time in seventy-five years, the delegates of the National Council of Women of Ukraine took their historical place among women from other countries of the world, representing women of an independent sovereign nation. The festive opening of the conference took place on Sunday, July 2, 2000, and was attended by Tarja Ha- lonen, the President of Finland. In Finland, where it is not customary to have a Master of Ceremonies, speakers approach the podium in the order in which their names appear in the program which is distributed at the entrance НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ВЕРЕСЕНЬ 2000 5 At a reception in Government Banqueting Hall (left to right): Maria Tomorug, Olha Kobets, Iryna Kurowyckyj, Iryna Holubieva, Inna Bohoslovska, Maria Komarnycka.
