On Tuesday July 5, the regular meeting of the members of the HCGM
Board of Directors took place in the "Mikri Vouli" room of the
Community headquarters, in the presence of media representatives and
members of the Organization.
After the quorum was confirmed and a prayer was held, the Chairman of
the Board of Directors, Mr. Dimitrios Smyrnios, proceeded to the items
on the agenda. Next to him was the General Secretary Panagiota Tsioutra.
One of the main items on the agenda was the election of the Secretaries
of the Board of Directors, whose names we publish next. The body also
approved the officers with signing authority and set the regular
meetings to take place on the first Tuesday of each month.
In his briefing, the President of the HCGM, Dr. George Tsoukas said that
with the daily cooperation of the Executive Director Dionysios Kotsoros
and the Department Directors, the new Administration is finding its
stride in the events and responsibilities of the Community. At this
stage, we are quantifying and defining our relationship as we are in the
process of acquiring the relevant expertise.
"I am particularly impressed with the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
programme, which will make the processes (of running the organisation)
much easier and reduce costs," the President said, adding: "Also
impressive is the dramatic increase in membership enrolment, by about 25
per cent, reaching 4,000 members.
I urge you all, over the summer, to enroll even more members. We
will soon be creating a membership card, which will offer various
benefits to all our members."
Community Treasurer John Roumeliotis, after informing that payroll
deductions are being paid as usual, added that he will soon present the
revised budget of the Community.
The President of the South Coast Regional Council, Afroditi
Stathopoulou expressed her sincere thanks to all those who helped in
organizing the region's festival. The response of the people was
impressive. "We have surpassed the fairs of the past few years in terms
of success," added Ms. Stathopoulou.
Laval District Council Chairperson Anna Georganta, in her update,
reminded that the local festival will be held from July 8 to 10 and
called on Board members to help as volunteers.
The President of the Montreal Regional Council, Dimitris Katsounis,
informed that the Evangelismos Festival will be held after August 15,
from August 19 to 21, as, this year, August 15 is a Monday, which will
discourage those who are fasting to attend. In addition, the City of
Montreal has not yet issued a permit for the event due to the
technical works being carried out in the area. Should this not be done
within the time frame we have, the fair will be held at another
location. Finally, Katsounis added that volunteers will also be needed
for the Panagitsa Festival.
The meeting concluded with questions from Board members and the media.
