The Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales (GOCNSW) has announced the formation of its new Board of Directors and Executive Committee following last Sunday’s elections.
The newly elected Board convened earlier this evening for its first official meeting, during which executive positions were determined.

- President: Con Apoifis
- Vice President: Chris Skiladellis
- Secretary: George Diamantaris
- Assistant Secretary: Con Spiropoulos
- Treasurer: John Terzis
- Assistant Treasurer: Con Mavrokordatos
Additionally, Sue Persefoni Thliveris has been appointed the new Chair of the Greek Festival of Sydney, one of the community’s most significant cultural celebrations.
The first meeting of the board was held with 18 of the 20 elected members present. It was noted that Dimitris Arvanitis has resigned, while Ioannis Zoumpoulis, currently overseas, will participate and serve on the Board upon his return.
The full list of elected board members includes: Houliaras Olympia, Costa Athanasia, Zoras Evangelos, Koulouris Stanley, Psarros Jim, Bekris Dimitris, Tsintilas Peter, Paschalidis/Papadopoulou Georgia, Tsilioris Peter, Ronis Peter, Zoumpoulis Ioannis, and Katris Nikitas.
Newly elected President Mr Apoifis acknowledged the responsibility of stepping into a role held with distinction by former President Harry Danalis for many years.
“Assuming leadership of the Koinotita and following in the enormous footsteps of Harry Danalis is a significant challenge. I approach this role with respect and caution, knowing how much he contributed to our community,” Mr Apoifis stated.
Mr Apoifis emphasised that the Board’s foremost priority is to serve the Koinotita.
“We are here for the good of the community, to elevate its work, and to ensure that Greek culture, language, and history continue to be promoted and strengthened. Our aim is to take the Community to the next level,” he said.
The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW extended warm congratulations to all elected board members and executive officers. Their commitment, dedication, and willingness to serve are greatly appreciated, and the Community looks forward to the positive contributions they will bring in the coming term.
The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW remains committed to serving the Greek Australian community through cultural, educational, and social initiatives.
