The Hellenic Initiative Australia has today announced the appointment of John Loukadellis as its newest director.
As a Senior Business Development Manager at Macquarie and a respected figure within the Greek Australian community in the ACT, Mr Loukadellis’ appointment brings added strength to THI Australia’s national representation of volunteer directors.
Speaking to The Greek Herald, Mr Loukadellis said he was proud to be appointed.
“It is a great honour to have been nominated on to the board of the Hellenic Initiative Australia by George Kailis and Nick Pappas,” Mr Loukadellis said.
“I look forward to working closely with the board and contributing as much as I can to the Hellenic culture, language, philanthropy to Greece, and my continued work in Canberra within our community. Keeping that flame burning for future generations is what it is all about.”
Mr Loukadellis’ passion for Hellenism and his dedication to the Greek community have driven his active involvement with The Hellenic Club of Canberra and the Greek Orthodox Community and Church of St Nicholas Canberra (GOCCC).
In a post on LinkedIn, THI Australia’s board congratulated Mr Loukadellis and said his appointment comes “at an important moment, as THI Australia approaches its 10-year anniversary celebrations on 22 March 2025 in Sydney.”
“This milestone reaffirms our commitment to uniting the Greek diaspora and making a sustained positive impact in Greece for years to come,” the post concluded.
Mr Loukadellis joins other THI Australia directors including Nicholas Pappas AM, Helen Zorbas AO, George Giovas, Kathy Karabatsas, Nick Mitaros, Peter Abraam, Chris Dolkas, Martine Jager, Bill Papastergiadis OAM, George Mastrocostas, John Tsianos, Tony Bellas, Paul Zaparas, Harry Patras, George Frazis, John (Yianni) Lazarou, and Stergitsa Zamagias-Hill.
