First Hybrid Heritage America Program A Success

7/31/2023

1 Comment

 
Picture
The National Hellenic Society and Manatos & Manatos implemented the first hybrid Heritage America Program since the onset of the pandemic. 15 students traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with high-ranking government officials, visit Capitol Hill, the Greek Embassy, the White House and watch a Baltimore Orioles Game! They also participated in online Zoom sessions joined by other students who were eager to hear Greek heritage stories and be mentored by the most prominent Greek-Americans across the country. Everyone had an incredible time and left with a “book” worth of career advice!  The Heritage America hybrid experience truly captured many Greek-American stories of hard work, resilience, filotimo, passion and filoxenia! We’re so grateful to all the speakers and kind hosts for giving our students this amazing opportunity to learn from the best mentors!

Last night, the National Hellenic Society, along with the Washington OXI Day Foundation, hosted a reception in honor of Greek Independence Day at the Almas Shriners Building in Washington, DC.  NHS Members and many other prominent Greek Americans were present on this momentous occasion. 

NHS Executive Director Art Dimopoulos presented many of the programs that the National Hellenic Society has been working on, including promoting feature film Cliffs of Freedom.  Additional speakers included Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou, Ambassador of Greece to the United States, Representative Gus Bilirakis (R-FL),  Jimmy Kokotas, Supreme President of the Order of AHEPA, and Diane Kochilas, renowned chef and host of My Greek Table.  

The highlight of the evening was a presentation by Ioannis Lefas on Who Owns History, Elgin's Loot and the Case for Returning Plundered Treasure by Geoffrey Robertson.  The book, which was available free of charge for all members present, examines the contemporary problem of the return of cultural property taken from its country of creation in the case of the Parthenon Marbles.

The NHS is thankful for all members of our parea who were able to attend!

On March 22, members of The National Hellenic Society along with their friends and family enjoyed a reception at the upscale, beautiful Avra Restaurant in Beverly Hills with former University of Southern California President Max Nikias. 

Nikias spoke about leadership as inspired by the ancient philosopher:  Xenophon. It was a truly fascinating discussion that gave NHS members a different perspective on leadership and engaged them in a fun conversation.  Max Nikias will also join us at our most memorable event of the year, The National Hellenic Society's Heritage Weekend and Classic, which will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada October 5th - 8th. 

The NHS thanks owner of Avra, Nick Tsoulos, for his great hospitality, delicious food and wonderful "parea."

The NHS is committed to continuing the planning of successful events in all our members' regions and furthering our mission to create a lasting network of Greek Americans and preserve our heritage.
