ypi_logo

Hermes Young Professionals Initiative was established in 2007, by Stavroula and Aphrodite Kotrotsios. Its purpose is to provide young Greek Americans who are aspiring to meet the professional demands of the 21st century with a forum to connect, interface, and learn from seasoned Greek-American leaders from various fields including Business, Medicine, Law, Government and it doesn’t stop there.

“It’s not only about who you know, but how well they know you,” says Paul Kotrotsios, President of the Hermes Expo International. The Hermes Expo serves as a networking platform that unites professionals from all fields and promotes Hellenism in America. The opportunity that this platform presents to us is the prominent members of the Hellenic Society and American Society that gather to show their support of this twenty one year old effort but also guide and support the youth. Not only do we have the privilege of associating with successful figures of the world, but we also get to mingle with one another, socialize, share ideas, gather ideas, learn form the a variety of symposiums, as well as see what services and products are out on the market right now.

In order for this paramount effort to rise to the next level and reach even more young professionals, we need to combine efforts and work together to move forward. WE ARE THE NEXT GENERATION. It is up to us to keep the flame alive and pass on the torch to the next generations. As fellow Hellenes, it is our duty to promote our heritage and help one another prosper, grow and make a difference in our communities. We will fulfill this goal as we unite and educate ourselves on how to meet the professional demands of the 21^st century.

Our committee believes in our mission and the mission is you, our fellow young Hellene. This platform will serve to promote, unite and support our generation as well as the future generations.
