Savas Tsivicos is the new Supreme President of the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), elected unopposed Thursday at the 101st Annual Supreme Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Tsivicos’ first act was to open AHEPA’s Emergency Relief Fund to collect donations to assist victims of Greece’s wildfires.
“It is an honor and privilege to be elected AHEPA Supreme President,” Tsivicos said. “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,” he added.
Tsivicos, who succeeded Jimmy Kokotas, served as Supreme Secretary during 2022-23. He is the CEO of New Jersey-based Cypreco Industries, a general contractiong, construction management and consulting firm.
