A message to delegates, secretaries from the UNA Executive Committee

Dear Convention Delegates and Branch Secretaries:

Over the past few weeks you have received a number of unauthorized letters written and sent by Walter Prochorenko, whose relationship with the Ukrainian National Association was terminated on May 12, 2006.

The use of company resources, such as corporate postage, stationery, time and personnel, to mail personal promotional materials is prohibited. Furthermore, the utilization of proprietary mailing lists is a serious breach of confidentiality.

Mr. Prochorenko's views do not reflect the views of the UNA or its Executive Committee.

We deeply regret any confusion and/or disorientation that these unauthorized communications may have caused.
