On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in the Metropolis of Chicago held their 11th Annual Business Meeting at the Saint Iakovos Retreat Center in Kansasville, Wisconsin.

Archon Regional Commanders Perry C. Siatis, Esq., and James G. Lakerdas, Esq., kicked off this year’s meeting with a formal changing of the guard, recognizing the efforts of Archon National Secretary Gus M. Pablecas and Archon National Treasurer John G. Manos, who recently stepped down as Archon Regional Commanders in the Metropolis of Chicago after almost 11 years of service in that position.

“Amplify Our Impact to Protect the Future of Faith,” was the theme for this year’s business retreat.
