AHEPA Supreme Convention Update - Schedule Changes!

 

AHEPA has been working closely with all of the ministries in Greece in preparation for the events and programs we have planned for you this summer, and we can't wait to share them with you! Many of you have called headquarters with questions regarding the current COVID protocols and how they will affect your travel. We are optimistic that by the end of July, things will be safer and closer to the 'pre-pandemic normal' than they are currently. That being said, we cannot force people to come, and while we would love for you to attend the convention and participate in what promises to be an incredible, once in a lifetime experience, we do not want anybody to put their personal health at risk or go out of their comfort zone. AHEPA encourages all convention attendees to take as many precautions as possible in order to travel safely, and will keep our members updated if there is any pertinent news of mandatory travel requirements to get to our event. We are committed to going to Greece and look forward to having all of you join us for the 99th Annual Supreme Convention! We're not the only ones excited for the convention! Deputy Foreign Minister of Greece, Constantinos Vlassis has a message just for convention delegates and members of the AHEPA Family!

As all of you know, this year, Greece celebrates its Bicentennial. AHEPA is playing a special part in these celebrations and we've made sure that everybody attending the Supreme Convention gets the chance to participate as well!
