Tomaras, president of PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation; Vassilis Bebonis, president of Neo Kyma Messinias; attorney Endy Zemenides; attorney Mariana Spyropoulos; Panayiotis Evangelou, president of the PanArcadian Federation; Gregory Pappas, representing Calamos Investments; Dimitris Kourkouvis, and Kostas Lemos.
