The Hellenic American Bankers Association (“HABA”) was established in 1982 to promote the professional and educational interest of Hellenic-Americans in the banking and finance industries. HABA offers lectures, seminars and panel discussions primarily in New York City. Our lecturers and panelists are drawn from the large pool of talented and prominent Hellenes in the global financial industry. HABA sponsors receptions, luncheons and breakfasts that provide additional opportunities for networking. Each year HABA honors a prominent Hellenic executive at our Executive of the Year Award Dinner.
