Supreme President Phillip T. Frangos presented Speaker of the
House of Representatives John Boehner with the 2015 Socrates
Award on April 14, 2015. AHEPA honored Speaker Boehner
for his fulfillment of the American Dream that saw him go
from mopping floors
and waiting tables at his
family tavern, to working his way through
college, to becoming a
small business owner.
Eventually Speaker
Boehner pursued public service and became
the U.S. representative
from Ohio's Eighth
Congressional District
in 1990. He was elected
the 53rd Speaker of the
House on November 17,
2010 and re-elected to a third term in 2015. Supreme Secretary
Andy Zachariades and Executive Director Basil Mossaidis
accompanied Supreme President Frangos to the award presentation held at the U.S. Capitol.
