The XXIII Congress will convene outside Philadelphia at the newly refurbished Holiday Inn Lansdale - Hatfield, located at 1750 Sumneytown Pike, Kulpsville, PA, 19443. At this national convention, delegates from across the United States will meet to plan our united Ukrainian American community’s course of action for the next four years.
