OUR LIFE Monthly, published by Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Vol. LXV MAY 2008 Editor: TAMARA STADNYCHENKO F ro m th e D e s k o f th e P re s id e n t As this is my final article as President of the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America, I would like to begin by thanking all Regional Council and Branch presidents, and all the individual members who have worked with me during the last nine years to make our organization better, stronger, and more visible within the Ukrainian community and beyond. I would also like to express my gratitude to those of you who called or wrote to congratulate me for the honor recently bestowed on me by Ukraine’s President Viktor Yushchenko— the Princess Olha medal. It is difficult for me to express all that I wish to say in this farewell message. Perhaps the most important thing to say is that I am proud to have served this organization and humbled by the trust UNWLA members have shown in me by electing me as their president for three successive terms. It has been an interesting and challenging journey. During the last nine years, many things were accomplished and, with your help, our organization has carried the torch lit in 1925, the year the UNWLA was established. Since that time, the UNWLA has made a difference in the lives of many, here in the United States in Ukraine, and in other countries with Ukrainian communities. Our members have actively participated in the women’s movement, have helped preserve Ukrainian culture, language, and heritage in the diaspora, and have engaged in many noble educational and humanitarian endeavors. As president, it was my privilege to participate in this process. This month, I will pass the torch to my successor, and I hope that she will enjoy the journey as much as I have as she carries the torch into the future. As UNWLA members, we have adhered to the traditions of our courageous founders while at the same time expanding the horizons of our great organization. Today, the need for our programs continues to grow, and we must face new challenges and find new opportunities to improve the quality of life for the needy and the victims of oppression and catastrophic events. With the help of modern-day communications, we are able to reach the unreachable in ways never before imagined. Although we are smaller in numbers than in the past, I have no doubt that we are stronger and more effective. The UNWLA is a powerful organization. How much stronger and more powerful it can become is up to us. If we rest on our laurels and feel content that we have accomplished this or achieved that, we will achieve very little. If we decide, however, to build on the accomplishments of the past, always striving to improve and do more, we will succeed beyond all of our expectations. The pages of our current convention book are filled with photographs of our branches and members. The faces in these photographs show women who have been UNWLA members for many decades and women who have been members for only a few years. Many of these faces are young, confident, and hopeful. These are women who will shape the future direction of the UNWLA. But the future of our organization depends on our commitment to growth, and we must encourage other women with ambition, confidence, talents, and skills to join us.
