4 OUR LIFE • July 2025 Meet Our New UNWLA Regional Council Presidents Знайомтеся з нашими новими головами Окружних Управ СУА My journey with the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) began in 1982 when I helped found Branch 4 in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Throughout the years, I took on various roles within the branch, serving as secretary, vice presi - dent, and eventually president. I was privileged to chair the program committee for the in - augural Women in Two Worlds Conference in 1982. Four years later, in 1986, I led the organ - izing committee for the second Women in Two Worlds Confer - ence in Princeton, New Jersey. I was also honored to be invited to organize several panel discus - sions during a UNWLA Conven - tion in New York. After moving to Randolph, New Jersey, I joined Branch 75, where I served as secretary for several years. I was part of the Executive Committee, starting as the third vice president for public relations before moving up to the first vice president. Following my time on the ex - ecutive committee, in March of this year, I assumed the role of president of the New Jersey Re - gional Council. In addition to my involvement with the UNWLA, I worked in the information systems indus - try for 42 years before retiring. My husband and I raised two wonderful sons, and we take immense joy in celebrating our grandchildren's achievements. Additionally, my family and I have always been active mem - bers of Plast, Ukrainian Scout - ing, which has been a lifelong commitment for us. Моя праця в СУА розпочалася в 1981 р., коли я з іншими жін - ками заснували 4-й Відділ у Ню Брансвіку, Ню Джерзі. Протя - гом років я обіймала різні поса - ди у цьому відділі: секретарка, заступниця голови та голова. Мені випала честь у 1982 р. очолити програмний комі - тет Першої Конференції, а у 1986 р. — організаційний комітет Другої Конференції «Жінки у двох світах» у Прин - стоні, Ню Джерзі. Для мене та - кож було честю організувати кілька панельних дискусій під час Конвенції СУА у Ню Йорку. Після переїзду до Рендоль - фа, Ню Джерзі, я приєднала - ся до 75-го Відділу, де кілька років обіймала посаду секре - тарки. У 2017—2021 рр. була членкинею Екзекутиви СУА як 3-тя заступниця голови у спра - вах зв'язків з громадськістю, а у 2021—2024 рр. як 1-ша заступниця голови. З березня 2025 р. я обіймаю посаду го - лови Округи Ню Джерзі. За фахом я пропрацювала у галузі інформаційних систем 42 роки до часу, як пішла на пенсію. Ми з чоловіком ви - ховали двох чудових синів і з величезною радістю сприйма - ємо досягнення наших онуків. Крім того, ми з родиною завж - ди були активними членами Пласту, що для нас є зобов'я - занням на все життя. Nadia Nynka President, New Jersey Regional Council Надія Нинка, Голова Управи Округи Ню Джерзі Oksana Zukoff President, New York Regional Council Оксана Жукофф, Голова Управи Округи Ню Йорк I was born in Galicia and gradu - ated from Ivan Franko University in Lviv with a Bachelor of Science degree and a high level of nation - al consciousness under the influ - ence of the Cheremosh student folk ensemble, where I played second violin in the orchestra. I found the love of my life in New York City, obtained one more diploma — this time in Hospitality — and in 2016 joined UNWLA Branch 125. For the past four years, I was honored to be the president of my branch, where I initiated a few cultural-educational events. One of them has already be - come an annual event: a master class in pysanka-making. I also organized an art exhibit of two talented Branch 125 Soyuzianky, Olia Borunec and Erica Slucka, with family and friends, and a meeting-memorial dedicated to Ivanna Blazkevich, “The Woman in the Line of Fire.” In June 2023 I worked as a volunteer teacher at the English Summer School in the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.
