I always have high hopes for your organization; you have never let me down. And for this, a huge thank you to the Belarusian National Technical University NGO."

Sergey Kharitonchik congratulated the women on their election to their new positions:
"I am sincerely pleased that Ksenia Valentinovna was elected Chair of the organization because she is an active person and has already proven her ability to organize events, organize teams, and participate in these activities at the highest level. I sincerely support the work of our Women's Union because I understand that you are a tremendous stabilizing force not only for our university but also for our country. You bring such clear notes of calm, planning, and rhythmic work. Keep up your work." We need to attract more young people to the union because they become part of a larger team and see how to build their lives, who to emulate. Life today is hectic and vibrant. And, of course, good examples will be seen and remembered, and these values will be further promoted. In the Year of the Belarusian Woman, all events organized by the union must be of high quality. The members elected today are people who can do anything. And with your help, events we haven't seen before will take place, which will add vibrant colors to the life of our university. We wish you good, productive work, and keep up the good work!
We also congratulate Ksenia Valentinovna, Irina Mikhailovna, and Oksana Alexandrovna on their election, and wish them productive work and new, bold projects!
