About & Team
Our Story
[Placeholder — replace with the real story.] Ukraine InPerson began with a series of visits to Ukraine: meetings with Ukrainian tech companies and business leaders that kept ending the same way, with someone asking why more Americans had not seen this for themselves.
[Placeholder — replace with the real story.] On his first trip, the founder visited Bucha and Irpin with his own eyes. What he saw there made one thing clear — reading about the country and standing in it are not the same thing.
[Placeholder — replace with the real story.] The idea that grew out of those visits is simple: bring American leaders to Ukraine in small, carefully curated groups, so they can meet people, see the country, and build relationships that continue after they go home.
Our Mission
We want every guest to return home as a friend and ambassador of Ukraine — with real relationships, shared projects, and a personal understanding of the country.

Emory Morsberger
Founder
A longtime Rotarian and Atlanta businessman, Emory traveled to Ukraine in June 2022 to hand-deliver surgical supplies to hospitals in need. That trip changed him — and led him to found HelpingUkraine.us and, now, Ukraine InPerson: a way to bring fellow American leaders to see Ukraine with their own eyes.
