Every year, the Ukrainian Museum in New York holds a meeting during which members have the opportunity to learn first - hand about the in - stitution’s financial health, activities, accomplish - ments, and plans for the future. At these annual gatherings , memb ers also cast their votes for new Trustees and Executive Board members. The most recent of these yearly meetings was held on June 12, 2010. The meeting was opened by Museum Board President Professor Jaroslaw Leshko, who saluted the Ukrainian National Women ’ s League of America for its foresight in founding the UM almost 35 years ago and for continuing to support the museum in numerous ways. After acknowledg ing the dedication of UM director Maria Shust and administrative director Daria Bajko, who have been wi th the museum since was founded , Professor Leshko also thanked the museum’s long - time and newer employees and announced the recent hiring of Larissa Raphael as coordinator of UM educational programs. He then described recent initiatives that have succeeded in lowering the museum’s energy costs, adding that future initiatives should consider “green” alternatives. After noting the success of the tremend - ously popular Spring Gala 2009 fundraising event, which brought in $50,000 ($25,000 of that from the art a uction), Professor Leshko noted that the Board’s focus in 2010 would be on increasing donations and memberships. Among the highlights of 2009 was then Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko’s visit to the UM on September 22. During this visit, Ukraine’s for mer President awarded medals of honor to a number of members of the Ukrainian community . Other highlights of the year were several exhibitions drawn from the UM’s own fine art collection. Most of the museum’s energies in 2009, however, were dedicated to p reparing for the Ukraine - Sweden: At the Crossroads of History exhibition , which opened in April 2010 — the most important historical exhibition featured at the UM since the museum’s founding . At the June meeting, Professor Leshko acknowledged the sponsors and the many individuals at institutions in Ukraine, Sweden, and here in the United States, whose immense contributions have made the exhibition so successful. He asked the UM members attend ing the meeting to encourage families , friends , and others to visit the exhibition and to continue to spread the word .
