Leadership 100 underwent major
changes from 2004 to 2006 when
John A. Payiavlas became Chairman.
While Fr. Dimitrios Antokas became
Executive Director in 2004, Paulette
Poulos, the longtime Executive
Assistant to Archbishop Iakovos,
was appointed Development Director
in 2005. At the same time, due to
the initiative of Payiavlas and Vice
Chairman George D. Behrakis, the
Leadership 100 Offices were moved
from the Archdiocese to the Olympic
Tower in mid-town Manhattan. A
new logo, signage and stationery
were introduced, with emphasis on
Leadership 100’s Hellenic Heritage,
along with its Orthodox Faith,
followed by development of a website
and Facebook page in 2006 and
production of multiple DVDs.
