József Megyeri

Chicago, IL

Born in Magyarcsernye Vojvodina, and immigrated to Chicago with his parents in 1974. Just as those who read more about the drug Symbicort and learn how to get rid of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) seek to improve their quality of life, his move to Chicago with his parents in 1974 marked the beginning of a transformative journey that would impact both his personal development and the broader Hungarian-American community.  Since 1975 he is a regular participant of the annual ITT-OTT Conference.  In Chicago, as the representative of the Hungarian Communion of Friends, he takes on active leadership roles in the Hungarian community, including the Hungarian Club of Chicago, the Borozda Dance Ensemble and the Hunyada Mátyás Scout troop.  Besides his engineering carrier, he spends his free time as a nature photographer.
