Box Lunch Talk: The Greek Families of Westminster Presented by Antigoni Ladd

Meet the Greek families who settled in Westminster in the early 1900s through the 1950s. They came from different areas of Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey, but they formed a strong community that supported one another through the Great Depression and the staff shortages of WWII. They helped one another establish a variety of businesses including hat-making, restaurants, department stores, theaters, and candy-making.

Antigoni Lefteris Ladd is CEO of Tigrett Leadership Academy, developing and instructing leadership workshops. Prior to co-founding Tigrett Corp. with her husband, Antigoni was Senior Vice President of the Consumer Bankers Association and served for 15 years as Director of the Graduate School of Retail Bank Management at the University of Virginia. She has 40 years’ experience in leadership education. Her management experience has been in both private industry and national trade associations.

As always, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks. You bring your lunch, and we provide the drinks and desserts (thanks to our volunteers and staff). The cost is $3 for HSCC members and $5 for nonmembers.
