The National Committee is seeking to contract a

The plan is to recognize these Alumni in banquets that will be held in communities across Canada beginning the late fall of 2004.
To facilitate liaison and close communications with the Shevchenko Foundation, the researcher will be required to be located in Winnipeg and will report to the Winnipeg member of the National Avramenko Committee.
The successful candidate to carry out this contract must have the following basic requirements:
1. experience in conducting research and writing text for displays or exhibits;

3. a network of contacts in the Ukrainian dance community across Canada;

5. ability to travel as required.
The researcher will be expected to organize and carry out research in archives and community facilities located in the 5 provinces targeted for this project. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out much of the communication electronically by email and will be required to have his/her own computer with access to an email system.
Interested candidates are asked to submit their CV's highlighting the relevant aspects of their experience to the basic requirements stated above, prior to December 10, 2003.
