-EVAN KELAMIS Fourth-generation owner, Evan Kelamis, believes the key to Savoy’s longevity has been his family’s passion to create and serve the highest quality, homemade cuisine. For him, this business is more than a way to make a living; it's a personal endeavor to create and share something unique. “We'll never say we are the best, and we question those who do, but we always strive to be the best,” said Kelamis. Kelamis started working at Savoy at age 13, and he credits the service experience with instilling a strong work ethic in him. With a background in accounting and finance, processes are important to Kelamis. “We spend a lot of time building and improving people and processes, and we are continually evaluating and questioning ourselves, with a constant focus on improvement,” he added. As a business owner, Kelamis was first attracted to Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) because it offered the unique opportunity to share the challenges, failures and victories he was experiencing with a group of peers walking a similar path. What keeps him motivated to stay involved in EO is the unparalleled learning and growth opportunities that come with membership. Kelamis will serve as Board President, beginning in July 2019. He considers it an honor to count himself among those who have taken chances, had the courage to bet on their own abilities, continue to thirst for growth and learning, and make meaningful contributions to better our community.
