Message from the New
Venizelion Scholarship Chair
KPHTH | SEPTEMBER 2013
It is with great honor that
I take on the responsibility
as the new scholarship chairman for the Pancretan Association of America.
My family and I are actively
involved in the organization. I have been involved
in the PAA and the PYA for
Mia Boutzoukas
more than 34 years and have
Venizelion Scholarship Chair
served on both the local and
[email protected]
district board. My husband,
James, is the District 7 Governor and my three children—Maria, Joanna and Manoli—are all members
of the PYA. Most recently I was heavily involved in organizing the 42nd National PAA Convention with my
husband in Clearwater, Fla. This gave me the opportunity to connect with many members from all over the
United States.
Being new to this position means that I will need
some time to understand the current guidelines, but it
also allows me the opportunity to introduce some fresh
ideas to the scholarship committee. I am working on
plans that would help increase donations and the types
of scholarships awarded. I look forward to working
closely with our youth and the PAA board to get their
input in order to get some new programs in place during my term.
Please feel free to contact me anytime with your positive thoughts and suggestions. United, we can continue
to build the PAA to new levels. K
