TWG Founding – 10/18/84
We were not just young Turks taking on the establishment. We had a vision and were passionately committed to making that vision a reality. The “vision thing” was what made TWG so successful. TWG’s guiding vision was “leading Ukrainians to excellence and influence.” “Think big; think outside the box; we can do it,” was our mantra. We strove to achieve this through high-quality, diverse programs, in the high caliber of our speakers and panelists, in our outreach efforts to Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian organizations, in the whole gamut of cultural, social, networking activities.” Natalie Sluzar, TWG Founder and First President
