In addition to the distinguished guests and speeches, the significant Greek presence at ECCV’s 50th Anniversary celebration at Parliament House on Monday, June 3rd, deserves special mention. With special guest George Papadopoulos AM, a co-founder of ECCV, and Voula Messimeri AM as the Master of Ceremonies, the event saw a rich representation of Greek influence. George Papadopoulos, recognized for his pivotal role in multicultural policy development and founding of ECCV, exemplifies the deep ties between the Greek community and ECCV’s mission. Voula Messimeri’s longstanding commitment, as demonstrated through her leadership at the Australian Greek Welfare Organisation (now PRONIA) and her recent Life Membership at ECCV, further underscores the enduring Greek influence within ECCV.
