114 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА During my tenure, I was on the committee that helped create a new interactive website including an exciting updated version in 2020. A s a member of the Executive Committee, we were also busy with updating our UNWLA Policies and Procedures Manual, a great resource guide that is an invaluable tool for all our members. I was involved with the Arizona State University’s Ukrainian Studies Pr ogram for Critical Languages and UNWLA has been a proud sponsor of this program, donating $10,000 annually for the past three years. This program is a unique opportunity to learn Ukrainian during an intensive four - hour per day, five days per week, seven - we ek program. Anyone who is age 16 or older ca n take this course, including “h eritage speakers,” who already know Ukrai nian and would like to raise their knowledge to the next level. There are two courses from which to choose. S econd - year students travel to Ukraine to study for one month , returning with even greater fluency. Participants in this program included non - Ukrainians such as Peace Corps volunteers, business people, as well as Ukr ainian college - age students. I was deeply mo ved to hear about how deva stated the two young Peace Corps volunteers were who had to be evacuated from their towns in Ukraine due to the COVID - 19 pandemic . They cannot wait to return to their villages. In 2020, the course was not cancelled , but was done via Zoom and was again succ essful. At the end of the course, I attended the event “Persian and Ukrainian Night” where students from both of these critical language courses did a Power Point virtual presentation for viewers across America. This program was established by the late Pr of. Mark von Hagen who was Director of the Melikain Institute at ASU. The breadth of Prof. Hagen’s accomplishments and expertise are too numerous to mention here. Sad ly, he passed away in September 2019. I attended his memorial service in February 2020 along with many friends and scholars, one of whom was Dr. Frank Sysyn of Canada. Mark was most k nown to Ukrainians for his efforts to call for the revocation of Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize for hi s cover up about the Holodomor. This Ukrainian language program at ASU will be a small part of his great legacy. Our talented Officer - at - Large Valentyna Tabaka was critical to the organization of the UNWLA 95 th Anniversary Gala, a virtual event , and she wa s the Ukrainian language co - host. I had the honor and privilege o f being the English language co - host. Nothing made me prouder than to see and hear how much member s , branches , Regional Council s have worked together throughout the years. Seeing their projects and hearing about their accomplishments was very moving. We had an incredibly large viewing audience and the don ations poured in. C onsidering that this was our very first venture into holding events in the virtual world, the event was a great succ ess. The following is the current information about our membership. There are 67 branches , eight Regional Councils , two groups of Branches - at - Large and one group of Members - at - Large. Our membership number is somewhat fluid from year - to - year, however, at t he time of this report, there are 1,645 members . Our largest branch continues to be Branch 56 in Northpo rt, Florida with 80 primary and eight secondary members! Within the past four years, three new branch es were established: Br 140 and 141 in Chicago, and Branch 142 in Warren, Michigan. Valentyna and I are working on two more prospective branches to join .
