LAS VEGAS—The delegates of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (Order of AHEPA), the leading grassroots service association for the nation’s millions of American citizens of Hellenic heritage and Philhellenes, elected Savas Tsivicos, of Ocean, N.J., Supreme President, at the 101st Annual Supreme Convention, Las Vegas, Nev.
Tsivicos, a member of Thomas Edison Chapter 287, ran unopposed in elections that were held July 27, 2023. Formal installation ceremonies were held July 28, 2023.
“It is an honor and privilege to be elected AHEPA Supreme President,” Tsivicos said. “My sincere appreciation is given to the convention delegates who placed their support and trust in me to lead this longstanding unique organization in the coming year.”
Tsivicos’ first act was to open AHEPA’s Emergency Relief Fund to collect donations to assist victims of Greece’s wildfires. He also met with the Supreme Lodge and the district governors to highlight programs that address membership growth and expansion. He also appealed to AHEPA’s core leadership team to connect with their chapters to promote AHEPA programs and projects that support AHEPA’s mission.
“The need to provide community service is never ending, both in the United States and abroad. I am eager to work with the Supreme Lodge, and our membership, to address this challenge, as well as others that may come our way,” he said. “Of course, the promotion of Hellenic ideals will always be a priority for AHEPA, and I pledge to keep AHEPA on a steady path set forth by my predecessors with a spirit that is true to our mission.”
