Delegate attending the 2019 Biennial Conference

June 8, 2019- Metropolis of Boston Philoptochos Biennial Conference, St. George Cathedral, Springfield, MA
Delegates representing our 42 Chapters across the Metropolis met to review the progress of the past term, approve our budget for the future term, discuss new business, and elect the Metropolis Philoptochos Board for the 2019-2021 term.

Thanks to the use of technology, we were joined by National President Maria Logus and National Treasurer Georgia Vlitas who spoke to us about different initiatives from the national office including the Children’s Medical Fund Luncheon hosted in Chicago, the continuation of Feeding the Hungry with an increased goal of 1.5 millions meals, Operation Classroom and more. To see all National Philoptochos Initiatives visit: www.philoptochos.org.

Along with the many business items discussed at the meeting, we had a reflective presentation by Lisa Foster titled “From Burnout to Balance: Strategies for Staying Centered”. Lisa spoke about ways to reflect and how going to church helped her do just that. Participants enjoyed interacting with Lisa taking time think about ways they avoid burnout in their busy lives.
