THIS MOVED DOZENS OF HIGH LEVEL AMERICAN POLICY-MAKERS AND OPINION LEADERS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF OXI DAY AS THEY NOMINATED INDIVIDUALS WHO THEY KNOW AND WHO THEY BELIEVE ARE WORTHY OF THE AWARD.

THE WODFB ASKED M&M TO SECURE SUCH CONTACT INFORMATION FOR EACH OF THESE AMERICAN LEADERS, AND THEN CONTACT THEM FOR THEIR NOMINATIONS AND TO FOLLOW-UP THOSE CONTACTS NUMEROUS TIMES TO FOCUS THESE LEADERS ON THIS SUBJECT. THE WODFB THEN ASKED M&M TO SELECT FROM AMONG THESE NOMINEES THE MOST WORTHY INDIVIDUAL WHO ALSO MIGHT BRING MAXIMUM EXPOSURE OF THE RECORD OF THE GREEK PEOPLE IN WWII.

OTHER ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE YEARPHILOTIMO SCHOLARSHIP: AT THE DIRECTION OF THE WODFB, M&M MADE PREPARATIONS FOR THE SEVENTH YEAR OF A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR YOUNG GREEK-AMERICANS WRITING ABOUT PHILOTIMO. IN ADDITION TO SECURING THE FUNDS FOR THESE SCHOLARSHIPS, M&M CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED THE COMPETITION IN CLOSE COORDINATION WITH HELLENIC AND ORTHODOX ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
