    The APS & AESA will jointly honor Dr. Vaughn (Vahan) Gregor on Saturday
    November 17, 2012



    (Glendale, CA) - The Armenian Professional Society (APS) and the Armenian
    Engineers and Scientists of America (AESA) will jointly honor Dr.
    Vaughn (Vahan) Gregor
    for his extraordinary accomplishments with the APS Lifetime Achievement
    Award and the AESA Victor Hambartsumian Award at a banquet on Saturday,
    November 17, 2012.
    Dr. Gregor, an engineer, inventor, and industrialist, has devoted his time
    and energy to both his profession and his community, seeking excellence in
    all his endeavors. Inventing new machines and building automated factories
    were his daily work. Leading and contributing to Armenian and civic
    organizations have always been his avenues for public service. Dr. Gregor
    is a devotee and benefactor to the Armenian community; a founding member of
    the APS, President of the AESA, and former trustee of several organizations
    including, the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA), the Armenian Education
    Foundation (AEF) and the Armenian Society of Los Angeles (ASLA). He is
    also former chairman of the Southern California Armenian General Benevolent
    Union (AGBU). He has been officially recognized with several awards by the
    United States and the Armenian government representatives for his
    outstanding contributions and accomplishments in science and engineering.
    He was also elected to the Armenian National Academy of Engineering. `This
    will be an exceptional evening where two Armenian professional
    organizations have joined forces to recognize Dr. Gregor for his
    significant impact towards science and engineering as well as the Armenian
    community, Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh' commented AESA President Armen
    Hovannesian. `We will publicize the banquet location followed by the
    invitations' concluded Hovannesian.

    APS was formed in 1958 for the advancement of education and fellowship
    among Armenians. Since its inception, APS has supported over 300 students
    of Armenian descent in the United States by granting scholarships to
    graduate students in a variety of fields.

    AESA, established in 1983 in Glendale, California, is a non- partisan and
    non-sectarian philanthropic organization focused primarily on addressing
    the professional, technical, and scientific needs of fellow Armenian
    engineers, scientists, industrialists, and architects worldwide.
