Greek American Woman of the Year: Nancy Papaioannou

Not one, but two women were honored at the Association of Greek American Professional Women’s (AGAPW) celebration of Women’s History Month at a joyful reception in the Library of The Metropolitan Club in Manhattan on March 8: one who has made it to the top, and the other just beginning her journey.

At the top: AGAPW’s 2016 Greek American Woman of the Year, Nancy Papaioannou. The first woman president of Atlantic Bank, President of the Hellenic American Chamber of Commerce, and a positive, unifying force in the Greek American community, is a woman to emulate, and in her honor, Madeleine Ball, a student on her way up, was awarded AGAPW’s Excellence Tuition Scholarship. Dr. Miranda Kofinas presented the award to Ms. Ball.

Ball is the 6th recipient of the award, which this year was three thousand dollars. A senior undergraduate with a double major in Hellenic Studies and Journalism at New York University, Ball has reported on the Greek economic crisis and covered Prime Minister Tsipras’ meeting with Mayor de Blasio in November 2015. She hopes to continue working and reporting on issues pertinent to the Greek Community. Undeniably a great start for a potential future Woman of the Year.
