SITE Issues Statement Condemning Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

The Society of Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) issues a statement opposing Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and recommends how people can help Ukraine.
 
SITE logoHere is the complete statement published by the Society of Incentive Travel Excellence. 
 
SITE is a niche association of some 2,000 professionals working in over 90 countries around
the world whose jobs involve highlighting the unique advantages of travel experiences within
the reward and recognition programs of corporations and enterprises.
 
We believe that travel rewards channel extraordinary benefits to the individuals who qualify for
them, the corporations who sponsor them, and the destinations in which they take place.
 
By celebrating diversity, highlighting equity, promoting inclusion, and fostering cultural
immersion and exchange, travel acts as a powerful agent of tolerance, peace, and unification.
 
We profess that belief again today as the peace and security of our world has been attacked
and call for an immediate end to hostilities and support for those affected. As an association, we are committed to actively exploring how our global community can best use its collective strength to provide help, assistance, and resources where they are needed.
 
Our SITE chapter in Poland, led by chapter president Grazyna Grot-Duziak, is already actively
supporting refugees from Ukraine who have crossed the border into Poland with transport,
accommodation, food, medicines, cleaning products, medical and legal assistance, even
making their own homes available for mothers with children.
 
They are routing financial donations through Polish Humanitarian Action, an aid organization
that has been responding to human tragedies caused by wars and natural disasters for
over 25 years – “seeing in each of these crises the fate of another human being”. We have
also identified two Ukraine-focused, aid organizations with 501 (c) 3 status in the US –
Nova Ukraine and United Help Ukraine. We encourage all SITE members and chapters to help in whatever ways you can.
 
Finally, though nowhere near enough, our thoughts are with all the individuals and families
impacted by these events.
