The Executive Committee of Leadership 100 has launched “Leadership Regional Fellowship” meetings in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Leadership 100, whose purpose it is to get members of Leadership 100 to get to know each other. The first event, under the Chairmanship of Tim Maniatis, well-known member of Leadership 100 who has organized its conferences for more than a decade, will be a luncheon to take place at 12:30 pm, October 15, 2008 in the Plaza Ballroom of The Ritz-Carlton-Washington Hotel, 1150 22nd St., N.W., Washington DC.

Stephen G. Yeonas, Chairman, asked Maniatis to initiate the regional events, a long-time goal of his to build up the fellowship of the organization, which will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2009. “I have frankly been surprised at the number of members who do not know one another. What better time to begin organizing these essential get-togethers than our 25th Anniversary,” said Yeonas. “Essential because we are all dedicated to the same purpose and the same mission in advancing our cherished faith and historic heritage,” he added.

“Leadership Regional Fellowship” meetings will be organized across all the Metropolises in 2009 and will focus on fellowship and learning more about the importance of leadership and the shared values that Leadership 100 has represented for 25 years.
