The Executive Committee of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is pleased to announce that Ms. Olya Grod has been appointed Interim Executive Director of the UCC effective March 7, 2016. Olya has been seconded from the Ukrainian National Federation of Canada (UNF) where she has been Executive Director for the past six years.
