AHEPA 2006-7
The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) is the largest and oldest American-based, Greek heritage grassroots membership organization. Its scope is international with chapters in the United States, Canada, Greece, and Cyprus, and “sister” chapters in Australia and New Zealand under the auspices of AHEPA Australasia.
AHEPA was founded on July 26, 1922 n order to help Greek immigrants assimilate into American society. Today, AHEPA brings forward the ideals of ancient Greece, which includes philanthropy, education, civic and family responsibility and individual excellence to the community.
Although a majority of the membership is composed of Americans of Greek descent, application for membership is open to anyone who believes in the mission of the organization.
Mission
The mission of the AHEPA Family is to promote Hellenism, Education, Philanthropy, Civic and Family Responsibility and Individual Excellence.
The Ideals of Ancient Greece – Important to All
AHEPA members are proud of the contributions the ancient Greeks gifted to Western Civilization. As Americans, we share many of the values put forth by them: civic responsibility, philanthropy, education, family and individual excellence, and the ideals of democracy. This is the essence of our heritage. This is the core of our mission.
The local chapter (AHEPA Chapter #519) can be contacted by sending an email to Ron Sprouse at ron.sprouse.sslf@statefarm.com.
