Special Community Event

On the Ground in Ukraine: A Conversation with Chris Ronayne and Northeast Ohio Leaders

November 23, 2026

Event begins at 6:00 PM, Doors open at 5:30 PM

In mid-October, a 12-person delegation from our region visited Ukraine, delivering ambulances and meeting with civic and political leaders, volunteer organizations, and ordinary Ukrainians about the state of the conflict. Organized by the United Ukrainian Organizations of Ohio and sponsored by the Fund to Aid Ukraine, the group included Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne, Ohio District 14 Representative Sean Brennan, and ten other notable community leaders from across Northeast Ohio. With the war approaching its fifth anniversary this winter, participants said they were moved by the resilience and community spirit of the people they met. Now, as the latest round of U.S.-brokered peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have produced little change, join CCWA for a special community event to learn more about this recent mission to Ukraine and why the conflict continues to matter deeply to Northeast Ohio.

We look forward to seeing you there!
