Each year Alpha Omega Council recognizes outstanding individuals who have excelled in their accomplishments from the worlds of government, business, philanthropy, and the arts and sciences. We honor these men and women at our Annual Honors Gala through the presentation of three exceptional awards:
• Lifetime Achievement Award
• Philhellene Award
• Emerging Leader Award
The Alpha Omega Council is very excited to announce Nicholas R. Larigakis, the President and CEO of American Hellenic Institute (AHI), as its honoree for the 2024 Alpha Omega Council Lifetime Achievement Award.
Nick is being recognized for his nearly 40 years of leadership of AHI and his continued dedication and excellence in educating, promoting, and strengthening relations between the United States and Greece and Cyprus.
We are also proud to present additional awards to two very special honorees.
The 2024 Philhellene Award will be presented to Loren J. Samons II, Professor of Classical Studies at Boston University. We pay tribute to Prof. Samons for his decades of leadership as an internationally recognized scholar and expert of ancient Greek history and literature, Hellenic culture, and classical studies, as well as for his passion for Athenian democracy and imperialism.
The 2024 Emerging Leader Award will be presented to Anthe Mitrakos, a journalist, communications professional, entrepreneur, and advocate for Hellenic culture, history and art. Ms Mitrakos is also a past recipient of the Peter Agris Memorial Journalism Scholarship in 2008.
The Honors Gala will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024 @ 6:00 pm , at the InterContinental Boston. This promises to be an exciting evening with music & dancing featuring Georgios Karatzas and Athenian Entertainment Orchestra following the presentation of awards.
