The National Herald a B MARCH 17, 2012 2 50 WEALTHIEST GREEKS in AMERICA the NATIONAL HERALD, MARCH 17, 2012 The 50 Wealthiest Greeks in America The price of commodities and stocks may go up and down, real estate holdings may fluctuate in value, today’s hot new website may become obsolete in months, and the global economy may throw in its own challenges, but the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurialism always endures. This special issue offers a look at the people from our community who have found opportunity where others found obstacles, who have seen solutions where others only spotted questions. Whether in the fields of technology or investments, in the realm of oil sales or industrial production, we bring to you here 50 inspiring portraits of Hellenes with vision and lead - ership. The 2012 list has undergone some big upheavals, as we have factored in - when including people in the list - not just the bottom line, but also the extent of Greek community involvement as a part of wealth. This means there are many familiar faces, but a whopping one fifth of people on the list of our popular issue are new.

    Promoting Self Determination, Independence, Productivity, Integration, and Inclusion of People with Disabilities Vol. 11, No. 3, October 2007 Make Your Voice Heard - Gubernatorial Candidates Speak Out on Disability Issues On October 20, all Louisianians will have the opportunity to select a candidate for Governor and vote in many other state- wide and local races. The field of candidates for governor is huge – 12 people with very different political and ideological mind sets are currently in the race. In order to help readers of the TriAngle and other people with disabilities navigate through their choices, the TriAngle Editorial Board distributed a questionnaire regarding various issues affecting people with disabilities and seniors to each candidate. Seven candidates, Belinda Alexandrenko, Walter Boasso, Sheldon Forrest, Anthony Gentile, John Georges, Hardy Parkerson and Vinny Mendoza answered the call with information regarding their plans for many offices and programs affecting people with disabilities and seniors. Five other candidates, Foster Camp- bell, T. Lee Horne, Bobby Jindal, Arthur D. “Jim” Nichols, and Mary Volentine Smith did not. The governor is the highest elected official in Louisiana.

    CONCORDIA THE 2016 CONCORDIA SUMMIT REPORT PAGE HEADER TEXT A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDERS The 2016 Concordia Summit held on September 19th and 20th at the Grand Hyatt New York was our largest and most ambitious Summit to date, bringing together over 2,000 thought leaders from across sectors. We addressed a range of global challenges through the lens of partnerships. As a convenor, campaigner, and idea incubator, Concordia catalyzes action through shared- value approaches. Concordia not only promotes partnerships - we are actively building them through our Campaign series. At this year’s Summit, we explored partnership-based solutions to issues including labor trafficking, energy, migration, cancer research, food security, gender parity, and more. This report provides insight into the robust discussions held at the 2016 Summit and how Concordia will channel these conversations into concrete action through our Campaigns. It is our hope that key takeaways from the Summit and our work will inspire actors from across sectors to identify new avenues for collaboration. Concordia’s community is united by the common conviction that, together, we are greater than the sum of our parts. Only together can we tackle the challenges that face all of us.

  • 2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November
    2008 Survey of the Performance of American Elections November 2007 Final Report 1. Introduction and background This report describes the results of a November 2007 study that is the first major step leading to a nationwide survey in November 2008 to examine the experience of voters with the performance of the U.S. electoral system.1 The present study surveyed 1,500 respondents in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi about their voting experiences in those states’ recent gubernatorial elections. The purpose was two-fold — first, to gain general experience with asking a battery of questions concerning the electoral system across a set of states and, second, to pre-test questions that will ultimately appear on the November 2008 nationwide survey. The main substantive results from the November 2007 study may be summarized as follows: 1. Voters overall were satisfied with all aspects of the voting experience. 2. While there were performance differences across the three states on some of the performance measures, they tended to be small. There was no systematic evidence that any one state’s elections were run substantially better than another’s. 3. Non-whites reported less satisfaction with their voting experience than whites on many performance measures — it was more difficult finding the polling place, there were more problems with voter registration, lines were longer, the polling place was run less well, and poll workers were less helpful. Non-whites received more help voting than whites. Non-whites were less confident their votes were counted as cast than were whites. Some of these racial differences were state-specific, while others were not.
