In the capacity of District Governor I organized the AHEPA HELLENIC AMERICAN FORUM in 2006 in which over 100 prominent members of AHEPA from all the US ,as well as the leadership of AHEPA from Washington participated. Some of the events of this forum included a visit to Cyprus and meetings with the President of CyprusTassos Papadopoulos and most prominent Ministers to discuss the Cypriot issue(here the leadership represented the rest of the delegation), and a visit to the occupied territories so our leaders can have first hand experience of the Drama that unfolded there. Also a visit to Northern Greece and Vergina as well as the officials there,so the delegation could have more insight to the Macedonian issue. Finally the forum culminated in the Grand Gala at the Intercontinental Hotel in Athens where President Papoulias , Prime Minister Karamanlis and Parliament President Benaki, as well as 10 ministers of the Government and many members of Parliament from all parties, participated.
In 2007, I mediated meetings with 7 US Senators (Codel on a fact finding mission, with the help of the US Embassy) and the Prime Minister, President of the Hellenic Democracy, and key Ministers to discuss the major Hellenic issues. The same was repeated in Cyprus.
In 2008, I organized the AHEPA Supreme Convention (International) in Athens.
I mobilized AHEPA for the destructive fires in Peloponnisos and we gathered both money and supplies for the families who lost their houses and raised 1.5 million dollars (see speech of Dr. Barich to AHEPAns in meeting of Atlanta to mobilize for fires on YOUTUBE )
