On 22 December 2021, the State Residence of the President of Ukraine, the Small Mariinsky Palace, hosted the New Year’s Eve Reception and Award Ceremony for outstanding personalities and the best enterprises of 2021.
The event featured a presentation of Ukraine’s achievements and accomplishments this year.
At the event, Iryna Makhinko-Dumikh, as the founder of i-CHEF, was awarded the Ukrainian-French Order of Queen Anne “Honour of the Fatherland” with a silver star for her conscientious service to Ukraine and the 100th anniversary of the birth of Anne Yaroslavovna, Princess of Kyiv, Queen of France. The Order promotes the role of women in the country’s modern social and public life.
For us, this award is very important, because the Queen Anne Order is awarded to women who, through their professional, charitable and social activities, contribute to the development of all spheres of public life in Ukraine, are informal leaders in various fields and influence the country’s public life. This means that we are on the right track and doing our job with quality and heart.
