James Lukezic has worked as a financial advisor in fiduciary governance for over thirteen years. While he is passionate about his job, Mr. Lukezic has many other interests as well. As a result, Mr. Lukezic is not just a member of the NYC Fencer’s Club, but also the American Helicopter Society (AHS).
The AHS is a non-profit technical organization designed for scientists, engineers, and others working on or interested in helicopters, or any form of vertical flight technology. Currently the organization has two dozen active chapters around the world. AHS has over 70 corporate members, and 28 educational members.
The AHS was created in 1943. In the beginning the society was primarily known for the publishing of a vertical flight technology magazine called, “Vertiflite”. The AHS would also publish “The Journal of the American Helicopter Society (JAHS). The purpose of these publications, and the society itself has always been to “enhance the understanding of vertical flight technology”.
The AHS official website states that the non-profit organization’s vision is, “To provide global leadership for scientific, technical, educational, and legislative initiatives that advance the state-of-the-art of vertical flight.”
The AHS accomplishes their goals in many ways, including awarding $50,000 in annual scholarships. The organization also sponsors an annual student design competition to encourage innovation and youth development. The AHS is the world’s oldest and largest technical society that is dedicated to understanding vertical flight.
James Lukezic became a part of the AHS because of his interest not just in helicopters and other flying devices, but to make a contribution to the community.
