Student Membership OfferTWG offers free student membership along with reduction in student membership fees.In conjunction with TWG lowering its fees for one-year student membership from $15 to $5, two anonymous donors have contributed $100 each to The Washington Group for the sponsorship of 40 student memberships. The first 40 students accepted for membership will receive this rare benefit. The unprecedented lowering in TWG membership fees was taken at the TWG Executive Board meeting on August 6. The move is meant to spur TWG's new drive to increase student membership. TWG's target is to raise the number of student members four-fold. The change in policy was prompted by recognition by the Board of the increase in participation by young members of the local community in Ukrainian events around the Washington D.C area, especially those from Ukraine. However, it was noted that these young people often stated they would join as members if TWG lowered its fees. The purposes of TWG are to establish a professional and business network of Ukrainian- Americans to promote closer ties and contacts, strive to eliminate discrimination and prejudice aimed at Ukrainian-Americans, facilitate close U.S.-Ukraine relations, nourish the development of a pluralistic and democratic Ukraine, and encourage active participation of Ukrainian-Americans in advancing the welfare of the community. Benefits of membership include the informative and timely newsletter, TWG News, the bi-annually published TWG Membership Directory, invitations to panels, symposiums, and lectures hosted by TWG throughout the year, the opportunity to attend concerts, art exhibits, and receptions sponsored by TWG, and additional invitations to a wide range of social events.
