NHS Announces Website Re-launch amid Growing Interest in Programs

WASHINGTON (August 17, 2011) -- The National Hellenic Society (NHS), a non-profit foundation focused on the preservation of Hellenic heritage in America through the support and sponsorship of educational and charitable programs, has re-launched its website to offer an improved, user-friendly redesign that provides easier instant access to information about NHS’ programs.

“The website’s redesign is clean and streamlined enabling users to explore our expanding charitable programs and events with greater ease,” said Executive Director Timothy Maniatis.  “We believe it has become increasingly important to increase our online presence as interest continues to grow among individuals looking to connect or reconnect with, or simply strengthen, their ethnic identity.”
Through easy to identify tabs the redesigned website offers quick access to NHS’ programs, news, and events, and other relevant sections.  Website visitors can access a tab and find subcategories neatly arranged in easy-to-read sections that provide information at the visitor’s fingertips.
Other features include:

• “Members Only” section for NHS members,
• Ability to register online for events such as the Hellenic Classic, NHS Regional events and meetings,
• Donation page facilitating easy tax-deductible contributions for NHS programs,
• Membership information and application page, and
• Archives of photographs and digital media of NHS Programs and events.

All of these features are prominently displayed on the NHS home page.  Online registration for individuals looking to attend the 2011 NHS Hellenic Golf Classic & Symposium is seamless.
The redesigned website also links to www.myparea.com, NHS’ social networking site dedicated to keeping the bonds strong between Greek Americans through a social networking application.  The link to myparea.com can be found under the “Programs” tab from the home page.
