The Orthodox Christian Network Celebrates The Next Generation Of Orthodox Leaders With 30 Under 30

BOSTON - Sept. 8, 2017 - PRLog -- Nurse practitioner, school educator, investment broker, technologist, marine biologist; just a few of the many titles held by the winners of The Orthodox Christian Network's (OCN) First Annual 30 under 30 initiative; a campaign featuring emerging Orthodox leaders, from within their own communities in North America who demonstrate exceptional Orthodox Christian Values. The winners will be recognized and celebrated at a Networking Event hosted by OCN at the Hellenic College Holy Cross in Brookline Massachusetts on Saturday September 9^th 2017. Five-time Emmy Award winning actor Jonathan Jackson will be performing a private concert for the winders and attendees.

The initiative—spearheaded by Managing Director Eleni Alexiou, under the direction of OCN's Board of Directors—aligns the mission of OCN, outreach and operations in an effort to develop, demonstrate and encourage Orthodox young adults throughout North America and the international community to build on their existing efforts.

"The 30 under 30 initiative was an opportunity to show support for and invest in this next generation of trailblazers," says Eleni. "We wanted to hear from young entrepreneurs and leaders that exemplify Orthodox Christian Values in their lives and the lives that they touch; and this young group of adults are certainly paving the way for our Orthodox Christian future."

The initiative draws on Orthodox leadership in the fields of medicine, nutrition, science, public policy, social science, humanities, arts and law, among other.
