Another prominent Greek American organization, the Hellenic Bar Association Foundation recently honored the founder of the UHVA with a 2020 Lifetime Achievement Award. A highly educated mathematician who taught over 40 years at DeVry University, Dr. Dimitrios Kyriazopoulos established the UHVA in 1974. Under his leadership, the UHVA works at the grassroots level to serve Greek Americans in the greater Chicago area, spearheading a range of political and community affairs initiatives to further issues of vital importance to the local Greek American community.
Remaining consistent with the theme of its 2020 Scholarship Ball, “Continuing the Legacy, " the Hellenic Bar Association Foundation also recognized the efforts of Dr. Kyriazopoulos’ stepdaughter and current UHVA national supreme chairman Kiki Stamatiou Whitehead. Ms. Whitehead carries on Dr. Kyriazopoulos’ legacy while keeping UHVA up to date with the latest technological advancements.
