The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) created the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association Political Action Committee (AHEPA PAC) in 2010 to enhance its leadership on behalf of the American Hellenic community by helping to elect members of Congress who appreciate a strong American Hellenic community and the mission of AHEPA. By creating the PAC, AHEPA can enlist support from its membership to better educate federal policymakers about the importance of the Greek American community while working toward its mission of promoting Hellenic ideals within the United States.
AHEPA PAC is fundamental for augmenting and strengthening our voice on behalf of the American Hellenic community by opening additional lines of communication with members of Congress and their staffs and allowing us to compete with entities that support candidates whose efforts are contrary to our mission. AHEPA PAC will display the community’s collective support for those candidates for federal public office who in turn support the causes for which we advocate every day.
The goals of AHEPA PAC are:
- To position AHEPA as a leading voice in the community;
- To support members of Congress and candidates who appreciate a strong American Hellenic community and the mission of AHEPA; and
- To educate and mobilize the membership of AHEPA to play a more active role in the political process.
