A Lasting Tribute: ECCNSW Dedicates Its Building as “Jack Passaris House”

At the recent Annual General Meeting of the Ethnic Communities’ Council of NSW, the organisation paid a deeply moving tribute to one of one of its founding members, a long-standing Board member, a past  Chair and a well-recognised influential leader. In a heartfelt ceremony, ECCNSW officially named its building Jack Passaris House in honour of Jack Passaris OAM, recognising his exemplary service, extraordinary contributions and lifelong commitment to the organisation from 1975 to 2024.

Jack’s family attended the dedication, adding warmth and emotion to the occasion. Their presence reminded all in attendance of the profound impact Jack had not only on ECCNSW and multicultural communities across New South Wales, but also on those closest to him. As his life and legacy were remembered, the moment resonated with gratitude, respect and affection.
