It is with great pleasure and profound honor that I welcome the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association family to the Supreme Convention, hosted by AHEPA Chapter 26, here in Philadelphia—the first capital of the United States—as we proudly celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our nation.
On behalf of our dedicated members, it is our privilege to open our city and our hearts to brothers and sisters from across the United States and around the world. Philadelphia stands as a symbol of freedom, democracy, and the enduring values that align so closely with the ideals of Hellenism that AHEPA continues to promote.
As we gather in this historic setting, we look forward to a convention filled with meaningful discussions, strengthened partnerships, and a renewed commitment to our mission of service, education, philanthropy, and the preservation of our rich cultural heritage.
We welcome you to Philadelphia and to the proud tradition of AHEPA Chapter 26. May your time here be both productive and unforgettable.
Paul Kotrotsios, MBA
President of Ahepa Chapter 26 of Greater Philadelphia
