"In a time when we need a calm and collected voice, when we need someone who understands that AHEPA's mission is undergoing a dramatic change, when we need someone to meet the challenges of the 3rd and 4th generations of Greek-Americans, there is no one better qualified than Jim Dimitriou. He is a consensus builder, who has the ability to encourage dialogue, without imposing his ego. It is critical for AHEPA to get the input from the entire community to not only grow, but to prosper. This is not a time for more awards and monuments, it is a time for programs to encourage the maintenance of "Hellenism" with our Greek-American community. There is no better candidate to implement this than James Dimitriou."

"I am pleased to endorse the candidacy of Jim Dimitriou for Supreme President of the Order of Ahepa.

Jim has been consistently dedicated to the purposes and programs of Ahepa always keeping the benefits to the fraternity foremost in his agenda.

His educational background and numerous activities beyond his continuing efforts for Ahepa qualify him eminently for elevation to the Supreme Presidency.

Having served with Jim on the Board of Directors I can attest to his loyalty, capabilities, and devotion to Ahepa's principles."

"I have known Jim Dimitriou for over 30 years, and I have always found him to be a man of integrity, knowledge, and accomplishment. He is not only a most creative person with boundless energy, but also a man with a great desire to protect and further the best of Hellenic culture everywhere. His work in ensuring that Western Civilization remains in the Callifornia school curriculum is one of his great achievements. Jim has done an excellent job in every Supreme Lodge position he has held, as well as every National Committee he has chaired. Dr. James F. Dimitriou will make a great Supreme President."

"Jim has demonstrated outstanding leadership abilities at all levels of the AHEPA: locally, in the District, and in recent years, on the National level. I had the privilege of having Jim as my Supreme Vice-president. He provided the Lodge and the membership with innovative and inspiring membership initiatives. His constant yearning for new ideas to help AHEPA progress is one component of his vision from which AHEPA will benefit in the future."

"Jim Dimitriou brings unique qualities and qualifications to the Order of Ahepa that have equpped him to lead this great organization as Supreme President. While serving as Canadian President on the Supreme Lodge, I worked with Brother Dimitriou to bring focus to the Order of Ahepa through dialogue and new ideas while preserving the best of the past. In my travels with Jim in a number of Ahepa events I was impressed with his leadership capabilities, his ideas for the Ahepa membership, its future and for Hellenism.

Jim brings vision and energy to the leadership of the Order of Ahepa. I will be proud to call him our leader and am confident that he will do us proud!"

"It is my honor to proudly endorse Dr. Jim Dimitriou, for the office of Supreme President, of the Order Of AHEPA.

I have served with Jim on the Supreme Lodge and have witnessed firsthand the determination and drive he commands to complete his mission. His efforts were directly responsible for the up surge in membership. An undertaking of determination and ability to lead by motivating and showing us how to achieve this goal.

Jim's concern for the "Grass Roots" membership clearly depicts him the PEOPLE's CHOICE for SUPREME PRESIDENT.

I feel an overwhelming sense of dedication that Jim will lead us in a consciences and responsible style of leadership."

"Dr. James F. Dimitriou has long been one of the most important and influential leaders of the Greek American community. He is a man of broad education and knowledge with great vision and high aspirations.

He is deeply proud of our Greek Heritage, and his devotion and contributions to Hellenism and our Community in general, and to AHEPA in particular, are most impressive and admirable.

In 1974 he was, among his many other accomplishments, one of the founders of the Save Cyprus Council (now called the American Hellenic Council) and he has since been a tireless, staunch and effective supporter of the just cause of Cyprus and all the Hellenic causes.

I have worked with Jim for almost 30 years and I am sure he has the ability and the experience to be both an inspirational and effective leader. I strongly believe that his leadership will provide a milestone in the legacy of Ahepa's many accomplishments."

"Ahepa needs the passion, experience and strategy of Jim Dimitriou to lead it through this critical time in its history. There's no more time for fooling around, no time for political games."

"Dr. James Dimitriou would be an outstanding Supreme President. Jim is a very loyal and dedicated AHEPAN who has contributed so much for so many years. I've known Jim since our days in the Sons of Pericles and without any doubt clearly understands what creative initiatives are needed to revitalize the Order for AHEPA. As the leader of AHEPA, Jim will open the doors to leadership for a new generation, and build a vibrant and promising future for young Americans of Hellenic descent throughout the nation, their families and their communities."

"Ahepa is at a crossroads of its existence. We will either elect the right people and move forward or will fall into obscurity. It is every brother’s responsibility to take a good, hard look at why we are here.

Are we here to capitalize on a personal agenda, or are we here to promote the best interests of the organization?

My vote for Jim Dimitriou goes way beyond politics and agendas. My vote of support for Jim comes from my love for the organization that my grandfather introduced my father to… three generations ago.

I’m still here, and I hope my children will stay on board. But this all depends upon the course that Ahepa will take in these critical coming years.

I feel certain if my father-- a devoted Ahepan-- were alive today, he’d be proud of my support for Jim Dimitriou."
