Rare leadership change puts Helmepa on sustainable path
Helmepa’s chairperson Semiramis Paliou is determined to bring the pioneering Greek marine environment initiative into the 2020s and a key role is to be played by Olga Stavropoulou, who was recently appointed director-general in the association’s biggest staffing change for decades
‘The board is on average younger than before and includes a lot of women. There is a lot of energy to try to understand what society needs from Helmepa today and to better communicate what we are doing,’ says Ms Paliou, Helmepa’s first woman president at the head of a revamped board of directors
