In a letter to the community, ACS Athens President Dr. Stefanos Gialamas announced the 2nd ACS Athens Alumni Achievement Awards Dinner that will take place on April 6, 2019.

"Over the past decades ACS Athens alumni have exhibited great leadership with ethos, including serving humanity in all areas of society. We will continue to celebrate and recognize ACS Athens alumni leaders at the 2nd Global Achievement Awards event that will take place in Washington, D.C. on April 6, 2019," Gialamas said.

The two awards that will be given to ACS Athens alumni will be:

  1. Lifetime Achievement Award – recognizing an alumnus (over 40) whose accomplishments in the public, private or non-profit sector have made an outstanding contribution to the community and serve as an example both professionally and ethically.
  2. Upcoming Young Leadership Award – recognizing an alumnus (aged 40 or under) who shows promise in his/her field by providing inspiration and leadership to students and other young alumni. The recipient has to have shown significant leadership either in their professional career and/or community, public or humanitarian service.

The Nominations Form and all relevant information about these two awards can be found at the ACS Athens Global site (www.acsathensglobal.org). Nominations are accepted only through this site. Community members that have not yet signed up as a member of this site, can do so at any time.

Dr. Gialamas concludes his message to the community: "I encourage you to read the guidelines for this new initiative and to participate by nominating someone you believe has the qualities outlined above and should be considered for these two awards. I believe that this awards initiative will become tradition for ACS Athens and a truly wonderful way for us to recognize our alumni as they leave our institution to go on to become successful citizens of the world with ethos."
