Award from The Aspen Institute Kyiv

Publication date: 20/12/2023

Congratulations to UNRISE CEO Iryna Palko on receiving an award from The Aspen Institute Kyiv. We are proud of all that Iryna is doing to promote the development of the leadership movement in Ukraine and beyond, in the spirit of Synergy and Community Action.

The legend of the marathon reminds us that achieving goals requires not only a powerful start but also the endurance and strength to keep going, especially in times of hardship. Resilience is one of the key qualities society must embody today, particularly in such a dramatic period for our country. This was the central theme of the Aspen Reunion 2023.

Each year, the Institute honors leaders who demonstrate values-based leadership. Along with Iryna, we also congratulate:

  • Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine — “For contribution to the development of a culture of dialogue”.
  • Andriy Lyubka, writer and volunteer — “For setting an example of values-driven leadership”.

Thank you for embodying true marathon resilience!
