News from our Board of Directors!

Important updates from the May 19th meeting of the Lithuanian World Center Board of Directors:

Congratulations to Marius Polikaitis, our new Chairman of the Board! Marius is a long-time member of the Lithuanian World Center Board of Directors. During his time as Treasurer (2018-2022), he took great care in helping the Center manage its finances. We know that Marius will be an excellent Chairman and thank him for taking on this leadership role!

Our previous Chairman, Jurgis Riškus, agreed to stay on as a member of the Board and to continue helping the Center reach its goal of serving the cultural, educational, and religious needs of the Lithuanian-American community. Jurgis has been an active member of the Board since the establishment of the Center in 1987. As Chairman (2010-2022), he led the Board in creating a vision for the Center, including development of strategic plans and helping the Center deal with challenges associated with the pandemic. Thank you, Jurgi, for your many years of hard work as Chairman! We really appreciate your dedication and leadership.

Justinas Andriušis, who became a member of our Executive Committee this February, will be taking over as Treasurer from Marius Polikaitis. We are confident that our finances are in good hands and are grateful to Justinas for taking on this role!

The Board also voted for Regina Saulienė to remain as Secretary. We thank Regina for her many years of service as Secretary and her continued dedication to the Lithuanian World Center.
