AHI is the most respected and effective think-tank and lobby organization focused on issues affecting the United States, Greece, Cyprus, and Southeastern Europe. We know the issues and share our knowledge with our members through newsletters, conferences, publications, and electronic media. This provides you information to be active at the grassroots level that helps to unify our voice in Washington. By joining, you help us in two ways: Your membership gives our message weight. And your dues help us carry out our mission day-to-day. Plato said that “the city is what it is because the citizens are what they are.” Involvement in public affairs is Hellenism’s most enduring legacy. As Americans of Greek descent, we can be faithful to our proud heritage by working with our leaders to uphold the rule of law and shape public policy. Please consider joining AHI or renewing your membership today.
