MEMBER GROUPS

‘The South Australian Council for the Greek Cultural Month Inc.’ was established in 1991 with encouragement from the then Consul General of Greece as an exclusively arts and cultural organisation. It is an incorporated body, a community based umbrella organisation, non political, non religious and not for profit, and a true uniting force in the promotion of Hellenic art and culture. Membership is open to any group, individual or organisation interested in Hellenic culture.

The Board, whose members are volunteers, is elected every 2 years at the AGM from representatives nominated by member organisations. The major task of the Board is to coordinate and deliver FESTIVAL HELLENIKA, which takes place fro February to June, every year. To make the Festival as accessible as possible, many of the events are free and all activities are funded primarily through financial sponsorship, sponsorship in kind, and fund raising. Finances are audited annually and financial statements presented to all member organisations.
