FISHERS, Ind.- The Board of Directors of the AHEPA National Housing Corporation (ANHC), the parent company of AHEPA Affordable Housing Management Company (AMC), announced the election of Attorney Ike Gulas, Birmingham, Ala., as ANHC board president effective July 18, 2022. Gulas, a member of the ANHC board for 25 years, succeeds Carl Hollister, whose term expired.
“It is an honor and thrill to be elected board president at an exciting time of growth for AHEPA, and I am grateful to the board of directors and thank Carl for his dedicated service,” Gulas said. “I was fortunate to be able to contribute to the care of my father during his latter stages of life. Many older adults today are not as fortunate to have that support system. Being able to serve seniors by providing a comfortable and dignified affordable home is a way for me to honor my parents’ legacy by giving back.”
He added, “The board and I look forward to working with AMC President and CEO Steve Beck, and the executive team, to meet our mission of providing safe, healthy, and enriching affordable residential communities and quality services for older adults. The need and demand are great, and we will meet that challenge.”
“Ike’s contributions as a board member for decades have been critical to our position in the affordable independent and affordable assisted living markets,” AMC President and CEO Steve Beck said. “We look forward to working with Ike and the entire board of directors, including the board’s newly elected officers.”
