The U.S.Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce officially celebrated the grand opening of its new office at the Prism Center in Dallas during a special ceremony attended by community leaders, business representatives, government officials, partners, and supporters of Ukraine.
The event also welcomed Vitalii Moshkivskyi, the newly appointed Consul General of Ukraine in Houston, to the Dallas–Fort Worth Ukrainian and business communities.
The ceremony began with welcome remarks from U.S.UCC President Tamara Velsher, followed by the national anthems of the United States and Ukraine performed by soloist of the Ukrainian Choir Barvinok, Daria Tsykalo. Consul General Moshkivskyi addressed guests and spoke about the importance of cooperation, partnership, and support for the Ukrainian community.
Representatives of the City of Dallas, including Beth Huddleston on behalf of Mayor Eric Johnson, also participated in the event and shared remarks highlighting the importance of strong relationships between the city, the Ukrainian community, and international partners.
A special moment of the ceremony was the presentation of a rare bottle of Ukrainian Art Wine from Bakhmut. The winery where the wine was produced was destroyed by Russian forces, while Ukrainian soldiers were able to rescue a limited number of bottles. The meaningful gift to the mayor was presented as a symbol of Ukrainian resilience, culture, friendship, and the enduring strength of the Ukrainian people.
The celebration concluded with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the opening of the U.S.Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce’s new office.
The new office will serve as a place for businesses, community organizations, and partners to connect, build relationships, exchange ideas, and create new opportunities for cooperation between Ukraine and the United States.
The U.S.UCC continues to promote business development, cultural diplomacy, education, and community partnerships while building bridges between Ukrainian, American, and multicultural communities throughout North Texas.
The Chamber expressed its gratitude to the City of Dallas, Mayor of Dallas Eric Johnson, and all the guests, partners, supporters, and community leaders who attended the celebration and contributed to this important milestone.
The grand opening marks a new chapter for the U.S.Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and its continued mission to strengthen partnerships, support businesses, promote Ukrainian culture, and build stronger and more connected communities.
