XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 49 Education Digital Reports The National Executive Committee, prior to the UNWLA XXXII National Convention, established a subcommittee which I chaired to research the conversion of paper-based annual reports required of the Branches and Regional Councils into a digital format. As a result, a system for the submission of digital reports was launched in 2021. The work was very demanding and required a great deal of attention and experience in data management. To that end, in 2022, the National Executive Committee established the Research and Data Management special committee chaired by Roksolana Sheverack, member of Branch 98 (Holmdel/Middletown, New Jersey). Digital reports enable UNWLA to: ● create outward-facing annual reports for the public and our supporters to see the work that we have done in the previous year. To date, UNWLA published three Annual Reports (2021, 2022, and 2023) that can be accessed through our website; ● provide Regional Council Presidents and Branches-at-Large Liaisons with detailed information about the activities of their respective Branche; ● ensure compliance with IRS requirements for 501(c)3 charitable or ganizations; and ● establish a foundation for reporting that is focused more on impact rather than processes. Scholarships for Students in America Created in the 1980s and active until the mid-1990s, the Eva Staszkiw UNWLA Scholarship was reinvigorated under my guidance in 2023. A devoted Soyuzianka and advocate for educational opportunities, Staszkiw, a member of UNWLA Branch 17 (Miami, FL) was committed to supporting those who wanted to pursue Ukrainian studies. Two students were awarded $3000 each in 2023. The contest is now in its second year. In 2023, inspired by the Staszkiw award, a new $4000 scholarship for students studying in the United States was offered to UNWLA in partnership with the Vovk Foundation. The Vovk Foundation’s vision and initiatives is to provide opportunities for students, entrepreneurs, and engineers/scientists to advance their work and studies in the face of the brutal invasion of Ukraine. One student received an award in 2023. The contest is now in its second year. I played a leading role in creating the review panels for both scholarships. Both these scholarships are part of the UNWLA mission to promote and develop educational opportunities for Ukrainians in the United States. This scholarship is an investment in one of the most important factors of our Ukrainian community in America – young people of Ukrainian descent. Decolonization of Eastern European Studies Roundtable On March 13, 2023, I convened and chaired a virtual roundtable of representatives from various organizations interested in accelerating advocacy in the field of Eastern European studies: Association for Slavic, Eastern European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), American Association for Ukrainian Studies (AAUS), and Shevchenko Scientific Society in America, along with professors of East European studies from various universities, representatives from the organization Nova Ukraine and Razom; as well as Soyuzianky interested in the topic all participated. This meeting allowed us to become acquainted with the leaders of key academic organizations, demonstrate our interest in advancing this topic, as well as present a roadmap for future action.
