Toropova brings decades of experience in international public health and tobacco harm reduction to Global Action's team of experts committed to funding work to end the smoking epidemic.
NEW YORK, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Action to End Smoking is pleased to announce the appointment of Nataliia "Natasha" Toropova as its new Chief Development Officer, effective immediately.
"I'm honored to join Global Action, an organization that shares my own values of compassion for those who smoke and my vision of a world without smoking-related deaths," said Toropova.
Natasha will lead Global Action's efforts to expand its philanthropic reach by funding critical research and initiatives that accelerate progress toward ending smoking worldwide. She brings decades of experience in public health, tobacco control, and fundraising including as a Programme Manager for the World Health Organization (WHO) and as an Advocacy Coordinator at Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids in Eastern Europe. In these roles, she not only promoted public health initiatives but also led successful fundraising campaigns to support their missions.
Most recently, Natasha completed her six-year tenure as CEO of Healthy Initiatives, a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening public health by addressing the risk of non-communicable diseases in countries including Ukraine, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. As a grantee of Global Action, Healthy Initiatives has educated hundreds of health care providers across nine countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia on the benefits of tobacco harm reduction for people who cannot or will not quit smoking—especially amid the stress of global conflict. The team has also provided critical aid—including CAT tourniquets, ambulances, and mental health support—to the areas most impacted by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
"Natasha brings a bold vision, deep expertise, and an unwavering commitment to public health," said Pam Parizek, Executive Board Chair of Global Action. "She's seen firsthand the positive impact Global Action's support can have to accelerate smoking cessation, and is the perfect person to lead our efforts to secure additional funding for this life-saving work."
Natasha joins Global Action at a pivotal time as the organization reinvigorates its commitment to grantees. Through a recent reorganization, Global Action has ensured its ability to exist until its mission to end smoking is completed, allowing it to honor existing commitments and fund future grants. Natasha's development work will directly support Global Action's grantees, which currently include projects with organizations such as Northwell Health, the National Harm Reduction Coalition and ECLAT, a research-based spinoff of the University of Catania. She will work closely with the executive leadership team to carry out her fundraising and outreach duties.
"Global Action remains steadfast in its commitment to its mission," said Heidi Goldstein, President and Chief Legal Officer of Global Action. "We have now guaranteed that our organization will last to see the end of the global smoking epidemic."

Global Action to End Smoking Welcomes Nataliia Toropova as Chief Development Officer

PANAMA CITY, Dec. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a comprehensive upgrade to HTX Earn, its premier digital asset wealth management suite. Alongside this upgrade, the exchange officially launched its flagship incentive campaign, the HTX Earn Carnival. The initiative features subsidized annualized yields of up to 15% APY across core assets, complemented by high-value physical rewards, including the latest Apple flagship product lineup.
The move comes as year-end market sentiment shows signs of recovery, with investors increasingly prioritizing lower-risk, yield-bearing products. The revamped HTX Earn interface boasts a simplified product structure, more efficient experience, and more competitive returns, aiming to provide a "one-stop" solution for digital asset appreciation.
Reap 15% APY on 27 Assets and Amazing Prizes
The HTX Earn Carnival event is scheduled to run from December 24, 2025, at 02:00 (UTC) through January 1, 2026, at 16:00:00 (UTC). During this period, HTX is offering significant APY subsidies for Flexible Earn products across 27 mainstream assets. Participants earn up to 15% APY on their idle assets through subscriptions.
Eligible assets include major stablecoins such as USDT, USDD, USD1, and USDC, alongside a broad range of core cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, TRX, ZEC, TURBO, NEO, WBT, APE, COMP, QTUM, PENDLE, DOT, TON, SOL, ATOM, CSPR, POL, NEAR, ADA, SUI, APT, A, and CRV. This diverse selection is designed to accommodate both conservative yield strategies and diversified portfolio needs.
The participation process is straightforward:
- Access: Users can log in their HTX accounts and find Earn on the navigation bar via the official HTX website or directly from the app homepage.
- Mechanics: Yield calculation rules are fully transparent. Users who reach specified net asset increase thresholds during the maintenance period will receive APY Booster Coupons for the USDT Flexible Earn product.
- Lucky Draws: In addition to the APY boosts, users ranked among the top contributors by net asset increase will be eligible for lucky draws to win Apple flagship devices, including the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 11, and AirPods Pro 3.
- The campaign follows a four-stage structure: Subscription, Asset Maintenance, Review, and Reward Claim. Users must complete registration and asset allocation during the subscription phase. Rewards are determined by the net asset increase maintained throughout the period and must be manually claimed during the designated window; unclaimed rewards will be forfeited.
HTX Earn Revamped: Five Core Modules
HTX has systematically upgraded the HTX Earn ecosystem, restructuring the interface into five clearly defined modules to enhance usability and long-term management efficiency:
- Overview: A unified dashboard to monitor asset allocation and yield performance.
- Simple Earn: Designed for conservative, straightforward yield strategies.
- New Listings: Dedicated to high-potential yields for newly onboarded tokens.
- Structured Products: For advanced investors seeking tailored opportunities.
- On-Chain Earn: Direct access to decentralized staking and PoS opportunities.
The refined categorization significantly reduces decision-making friction, allowing users to align their strategies precisely with their risk preferences. Furthermore, the redesigned homepage now features a dedicated promotions area for limited-time boosts and an intelligent recommendation module that suggests products based on a user's current asset structure. Additional optimizations include an SVIP zone, a newcomer section, and multi-dimensional filters for a tailored experience.
From Campaign Incentive to Sustainable Yield
From the launch of HTX Earn Carnival to the continued evolution of its Earn product architecture, HTX is reinforcing its commitment to long-term, sustainable asset appreciation, aiming to deliver professional, transparent, and efficient asset management tools beyond short-term promotions. Looking ahead, HTX plans to further expand its Earn offerings, refine user experience, and introduce diversified yield mechanisms aligned with real user demand.
