Event Details:

In recent months, Ukraine has undergone major political changes. The Orange Revolution has brought into power a new leadership committed to strengthening ties with the West. While maintaining good political relations and economic trade with Russia, the new President of Ukraine has his eyes set on greater economic cooperation with, and eventual membership in, the European Union. The First Lady of Ukraine is a Ukrainian-American born in Chicago and is a GSB Alumna, Class of 1986! Will Ukraine's westward outlook be extended to the United States? Is Ukraine poised for a bright future or will 'old-guard' politics present obstacles to the creation of a free-market economy? A senior representative of the Consulate General of Ukraine will be with us to talk about recent events and the prospects for foreign investment. Plan to attend this provocative presentation and learn how these developments could impact investment by US companies and the growth of trade between Ukraine and the United States.
