The Order of AHEPA is proud to announce that Samuel “Sam” I. Gebre-Egziabher has been hired by the Order of AHEPA as its new Associate Controller effective today. Sam brings years of accounting experience to the Order, and we are excited to have him join our AHEPA Global Headquarters staff.  Upon notification of the retirement of our longtime Controller, Patrice Farish, the Board announced and began a search for someone who could work with Patrice and learn how our organization works. Patrice announced her retirement to the Board at the last Board meeting, and Sam has been working with Patrice since the middle of August. The Board interviewed several candidates along with the sitting Supreme President at the time and selected Sam. Patrice Farish served as AHEPA Controller for over 20 years and assisted to restructure our accounting system, streamlined our accounts and brought stability to the department. Patrice has been at every convention offering her expertise and counsel on many financial matters. The Order of AHEPA was honored to have such a professional and dedicated employee. She will be missed on a daily basis. The Board has asked Patrice to maintain a consultant position for now, offering support to our accounting department until our next audit. It is a bittersweet day for AHEPA. We are excited to welcome Sam and sad to see Patrice go as she enters retirement.  Basil Mossaidis Executive Director Order if AHEPA
