We bring together community leaders from across the United States, elected officials, senators, and members of Congress to reflect on Ukraine’s enduring resilience and the unity of Ukrainians worldwide. It also provides an opportunity to exchange perspectives, share insights on the challenges ahead, and explore collaborative pathways that strengthen advocacy, cultural preservation, and community engagement.
We are also honored to anticipate the participation of Olga Stefanishyna, the newly appointed Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, as well as Yevhen Hlybovytsky, founder of Pro-Mova, a think tank specializing in the impact of cultural factors on Ukraine’s development.
The commemoration will provide a forum for thoughtful dialogue and a chance to connect with fellow community members and advocates dedicated to Ukraine’s sovereignty, cultural heritage, and future.
