From the UNA regarding its publications

As readers of our publications know, for many years now the Ukrainian National Association has been reporting increasing deficits in our operations of our publications. A number of months ago, the UNA began an internal restructuring initiative that sought to streamline operations, reduce costs and maximize efficiencies. This restructuring accompanies a realignment of internal operations with a greater emphasis on sales and revenue-generation. These strategies should allow the UNA to meet the changing needs of our members and readership, and to bring about sustained profitability.

As part of the consolidation initiative, the two positions of editors-in-chief of the UNA's publications, Svoboda and The Ukrainian Weekly, were combined into one position. The two papers, however, will continue to be published separately.

As a result of this consolidation, as of December 1, 2006, Irene Jarosewich will no longer serve as editor-in-chief of Svoboda, a position she held for the past six years. The UNA remains deeply appreciative of her efforts to make Svoboda an interesting and valuable resource for our readers. The Executive Committee of the UNA, further, would like to express our gratitude to Ms. Jarosewich for her years of dedicated service to Svoboda, the UNA and to our community at large. We wish only the best for her in the future. In upcoming issues of our newspapers, the Executive Committee will announce restructuring plans for our publications.

- Stefan Kaczaraj, president, on behalf of the UNA Executive Committee
