128 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА NATALIA PAWLENKO OFFICER - AT - LARGE The duties of the UNWLA National Executive Committee Officer - at - Large position (of which there are two) change and shift as defined by UNWLA Bylaws or as needed to fulfill National Board requirements and to address overall organizational goals. Upon elect ion to the position of Officer - at - Large in July 2019, I attended my first meeting of the UNWLA National Executive Committee in September 2019 in New York City, where I was asked to survey of our membership regarding the UNWLA publication Our Life magazine. The survey was distributed to the membership in the fall of 2019 and the results were reviewed at the April 2020 meeting of the National Board. The National Executive Committee gave me the honor of representing the UNWLA in October 2019 at a special even t presented in conjunction with the Holodomor exhi bit that had been curated by Branch 136 and was held at the Ho - locaust Museum and Cohen Edu - cational Center in Naples, Florida . The event featured a lecture on the Holodomor by Prof. Timothy Snyder of Yale University . Opening of the Holodomor Exhibit at the Holocaust Museum, Naples, FL. From left: Susan L. Suarez President and CEO, Holocaust Museum and Cohen Education Center (HMCEC) of Southwest Florida; Halyna Traversa, UNWLA Branch 136; Professor Timothy Snyder; Natalia Santarsiero, President, UNWLA Branch 136 ; Stephen Strome, Chair, (HMCEC); Nata lia Pawlenko, UNWLA Executive Committee In October 2019, together with UNWLA President Marianna Zajac and Officer - at - Large Valentyna Tabaka, we met with Metropolitan Epiphanius I of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine during his visit to the United States. We discussed the humanitarian initiatives undertaken by the UNWLA in Ukraine and the Metropolitan expressed his deep appreciation to all S oyuz i anky . Other assignments included participating in the drafting of new UNWLA social welfare guidelines, reviewing and editing the UNWLA Polic ies and Procedures Manual, the UNWLA Bylaws, position descriptions for all levels of the UNWLA organization and a review of the annual branch and regional council reports with an intent to make these available online. By the third m onth of 2020, it was clear that the COVID pandemic would affect the manner in which we conducted business. In this regard, I assisted in preparing for the first virtual meeting of the National Board that took place in April 2020. Once it became clear that the pandemic would continue for some time, the National Executive Committee elected to issue an electronic newsletter and assigned this work to me. From May – December, eight such email newsletters were issued to the membership. During the summer of 2020 , UNWLA branch presidents received a survey that I developed together with Vice President for Membership, Chrystia Boyko. The survey was designed to document branch activities, including innovative approaches to engaging with membership, during the COVID - 1 9 pandemic. The results of the survey were published in the October issue of Our Life magazine.
