New York’s Messinian Association has elected Konstantinos Skountzos as its next president, with scholarships and youth programs among the priorities for its incoming board. The new leadership takes office in January 2027.
Members elected Skountzos at the association’s October 11 general assembly, Greek News USA reported. The group, known as Aristomenis, brings together members of New York’s Greek American community with ties to Messinia, a region in southwestern Greece.
Incoming Board Sets Scholarships and Youth Programs as Priorities
The incoming board has identified scholarships and youth programs as priorities for its term. The announcement sets out where the new leadership intends to focus its work once it takes office in January.
For an association rooted in a specific region of Greece, youth programming offers a way to involve younger Greek Americans in the local community. Scholarships are a separate part of that agenda, focused on educational support.
Annual Celebration Set for November 21 in Queens
Before the new board takes office, the association will hold its annual celebration in Queens on November 21. The gathering is the next event on the group’s calendar following the October election.
The celebration will bring members together in New York ahead of the January transition, when Skountzos and the incoming board begin their term.
