Joint Conferences of Ukrainian American Organizations

The Washington Group, the Ukrainian Medical Association of North America, the Ukrainian National Credit Union Association, the Ukrainian Engineers Society of America, and the Ukrainian American Bar Association announce that, for the first time, we will all hold our respective annual meetings and conferences, simultaneously, in Washington D.C., between June 23 and 27, 1999.

The Embassy of Ukraine, as well as the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, Ukrainian American Coordinating Council, Ukrainian American Community Network, Tryzub, The Ukrainian Weekly, BRAMA-Gateway Ukraine, Ukrainian National Information Service, US-Ukraine Foundation, Ukrainian Institute of America, Federation of Ukrainian American Business and Professional Organizations, and the World Federation of Ukrainian Medical Associations, among others, will be co-sponsors, making this a major event for the Ukrainian American community.

A series of joint evening Diplomatic and Congressional Receptions and social events are planned, including a Gala Banquet and Ball on Saturday, June 26. Special attention is being given to adjunct activities which will appeal to family and guests, including a spouse and guest program, childrens activities, sports activities, and tours of Washington. Planned cultural activities include special presentations of Ukrainian art at a Georgetown Art Gallery and the Ukrainian Embassy, a photographic essay on Ukraine, and a cultural performance on Sunday, June 27.

The hotel contract with Hyatt Regency Crystal City, and an inter- organizational agreement have been signed recently, and other arrangements are now being finalized. The steering committee is composed of the heads of each of the participating organizations. Dr. Roman Goy is Chairman and Program Coordinator. The Ukrainian Medical Association is providing coordination, and The Washington Group and other participating organizations will assist with onsite support.

Washington is a premier international tourist attraction, especially in early summer. It has a wealth of cultural opportunities, including very popular museums, interesting historical sites, and important government landmarks. The city is known for outstanding dining, the beautiful countryside of Virginia and Maryland, and charming neighboring small towns like Annapolis and Alexandria.

Washington also affords a unique opportunity to further our appreciation of the workings of our government. We will also encourage our lawmakers and government officials to take part in our activities, in order to gain a better appreciation of the issues that are important to Ukrainian Americans.

It is also a special opportunity for all attendees to interact with so many colleagues and friends from different fields. Guests from Ukraine will enrich the experience for everyone, and make this a truly international event.

The headquarters hotel is the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, located in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington D.C. A limited number of rooms have been reserved in the name of Ukrainian Events Week, at an exceptional rate of $109 per night, single or double.

The area is well served by three major airports: Reagan National, (complimentary shuttle ride away from the hotel), as well as Dulles and Baltimore-Washington Airports (both 30 - 40 minutes away).

There is a convenient rail connection on Amtrak to historic Union Station, a twelve minute ride away by taxi, or the safe and comfortable Metro. The hotel is also easily accessible by car from a network of major highways, with convenient parking available right at the hotel.

Sponsoring organizations will reap many advantages from Participation. The hotel arrangements and social events are all arranged. A joint marketing program is being developed. Word of mouth promotion will be significant. And there are important economies of scale. Ukrainian American organizations wishing to participate are invited to consider this event theirs. This is the time to join in. All that is required is a commitment to contribute in some way to make this an even better event.

Organizations interested in participating, and companies interested in taking advantage of this outstanding marketing opportunity as advertisers, supporters or exhibitors are invited to call the Ukrainian Medical Association at 1-888-798-6262. After all, this will be one of the largest assemblies of affluent, mobile, active upper middle class Ukrainian Americans anywhere.

This is truly an exceptional opportunity to demonstrate that we are a significant, cohesive community, and we can achieve our common goals. Meeting together provides us with a unique opportunity for cross pollination of ideas, and for social interaction for the whole family. Please join us in this wonderful show of solidarity among Ukrainian Americans.

Participants can register for the conferences by mail, fax, telephone, or the BRAMA web site, and pay by check or VISA credit card.
