94 ХХ Х І I Конвенція СУА Our Life – The Face of UNWLA We are very proud of our magazine, which celebrated 75 years in 2019, for sharing UNWLA accomplishments with readers, of focusing on historical and current women of interest, of highlighting Ukrainian culture and art. To ensure its viability, both finan cially and as the or ganization’s face in print, the Executive Committee made the decision to conduct a membership - wide survey. Based on survey results , as well as financial considerations, the decision was approved by the National Board to update the appearance and content of Our Life , which has always carried financial deficits since UNWLA membership dues did not cover the magazine’s increasing printing and publishing costs , as well as increases in postage rates. Together with these changes, we also saw the retirement of our English - language editor, Tamara Stadnychenko - Cornelison. We are grateful to Tamara for her deep commitment of more than 25 years. Tamara’s contributions have shown clearly that the then controversial decision to make Our Life magazine bilingual was the co rrect one – to fulfill the long - term mission of the organization, as well as to meet the immediate need of UNWLA members. We wish Tamara good health during her retirement. Thank you, Tamaro! UNWLA Ho nored Member and Chair, Cultural Affairs Committee Sofia Hewryk continued her contribution to Our Life by researching and finding magazine co vers that displayed the creativity and broad spectrum of diaspora art. O ur Ukrainian - language editor, L arysa Topol i a, has been with us since January 2017 and continues to contribute her professional, creative , and thoughtful articles as a member of the Our Life family. Thank you, Laryso and Sofiyo ! With the November 2020 issue, we were very pleased to welcome the new Editor - in - Chief and English - language editor of Our Life , Romana Labrosse. Romana joins us with a wealth of editorial and communications experience . We look forward to having her provide strategic, conceptual, creative , and editorial input to take Our Life into the future. Welcome, Romano! Women's C ommunity, Citizenship, and Commitment in the Ukrainian Diaspora UNWLA is very excited to be in the final editing stages of the long - awaited English - language history book capturing 95 years of UNWLA ’s ever - growing effectiveness and significance in the Ukrainian diaspora of the United States. Author Dr. Martha Kichorowska Kebalo has fully committed herself to uncover our full history and has immersed herself in our organization’s archives and publicat ions, as well as those of other diaspora organizations, and has interviewed numerous UNWLA members and community activists. Through these sources, she has been able to present not only a timeline of the organization’s projects and activities, but also has been able to paint a verbal portrait of the values and dedication of UNWLA leadership and membership, and of the ideas and changing strategies used throughout the decades to reach our goals. Through the written word, along with photographs and rich illustr ations, Dr. Kebalo has been able to communicate the feeling of accomplishment, of pride, of patriotism, of belonging, of sisterhood that comes with being a member of UNWLA . We chose to have this publication written in English because we want to open the do or into our past for our daughters, for future generations of Ukrainian women in America, to understand the community activism and commitment of their mothers and grandmothers, soon to reach a proud 100 years. Not simply a book of dates and events, this pu blication reflects the lives and choices of thousands of Ukrainian American women, and we look forward to sharing this treasure both with our immediate Ukrainian community, and with our broader American community, as well!
