The Association of Greek American Professional Women (AGAPW) celebrated Women's history Month on March 28 by honoring Penelope Tsilas as its Greek American Woman of the Year at Cyprus House in Manhattan.

“We have come a long way, but there is still much to be accomplished so that women’s vital role is further enhanced and facilitated. "It is for this reason that the endeavors of AGAPW are so meaningful. This is why we should all be actively engaged towards our goal, which is ‘expand career opportunities and promote community and leadership building among Greek-American professional women by forging collaborations among ourselves and other American and Greek-American organizations.” Tsilas concluded by telling the guests “I am proud that I am a member of our organization and I am inspired by all and each and every one of you.”
