NEW YORK – A lively and informative panel discussion and Q&A was hosted by the Hellenic American Association for Professionals in Finance (HABA), the Cyprus-U.S. Chamber of Commerce (CUSCC), the Hellenic Medical Society of New York (HMSNY), and the Hellenic Lawyers Association (HLA) on US Tax Reform: What it Means for the US, World, and You, on February 15. The event was held at Wells Fargo Connections in Midtown Manhattan. The panel of experts- Carter Vinson- International Tax Principal, Financial Services Office (FSO), Ernst & Young LLP; Allyson Milbrod- Tax Director, EisnerAmper LLP; and Steven Lando- Tax Partner, Anchin, Block & Anchin LLP, discussed the changes and the implications for 2018 for business, markets, and individuals. The discussion was moderated by Eleni Lagos- Tax Partner, EisnerAmper LLP. The event also included a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception.
Costas Kellas, member of the HABA Board of Directors, gave the welcoming remarks, and introduced the leaders and representatives of each organization, Fanny Trataros- HABA President, Nicolas Nicolaou- CUSCC President, Dr. George Liakeas- HMSNY President, and George Zapantis- HLA Treasurer.
HMSNY President Dr. George Liakeas thanked everyone for attending and noted that this was another joint event organized by the Hellenic professionals, and especially thanked HABA since he had heard someone made $15,000 after the HABA event on Bitcoin. He also encouraged everyone to help promote the professional organizations to their friends and colleagues and looked forward to more co-organized events among the groups.
HABA President Franny Trataros also thanked everyone and noted that the co-sponsored events are a great opportunity for networking and learning.
Moderator Eleni Lagos thanked everyone in attendance and noted that they would try to make the presentation as enjoyable as possible, understandable and geared to the audience present, though taxes is a “heavy topic.” She noted that there are over 500 pages of legislation something she is seeing for the first in her career, and “it would have been great if it came after Christmas, but it came on December 22 and so we’ve all been scrambling and trying to get to the bottom of these changes.”
