The Australian
Lithuanian Federal Council met initially in 1950 in Sydney. The statutory laws were endorsed at the following meeting in 1952. Subsequent meetings would be held every two
years, with the location rotating between Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
Over the 75 years, 32 presidents have served. Of those, 2 served two terms and one served three terms. Six have been women. For the first twenty years the council was based in Sydney, giving Sydney a total of 17 terms, followed by Melbourne with seven, Adelaide with five and Canberra two. Over that time, at least 225 people have served on the Federal committee.
Over the next few weeks, I will introduce you to the earliest of our presidents.
