Why I am an ÖAG member

I became a member of the Austro-American Society because I had leading positions in Austrian subsidiaries of American companies (General Motors and Chrysler), where I became familiar with the American way of thinking and doing business. Moreover I appreciate to meet interesting personalities in our society and to be invited to many special events.

Warum ich ein ÖAG Mitglied bin

Ich habe 2 Saisonen in einem Schiresort im Osten der USA gearbeitet und anschließend mit dem Camper eine 3-monatige Rundreise durch die Vereinigten Staaten genossen - seither fühle ich mich mit dem Land verbunden und denke gerne an diese schöne Zeit zurück.

Why I am an ÖAG member

When I first came in touch with the AAS I was joining a class for English - conversation in 1985 because I realized my shrinking language- knowledge which I had from a one year stay in Connecticut in 1972. Then lifechanging things happend and I was too busy to be a member of the AAS. But now, being retired and living a settled life I appreciate very much, having found a social club with the possibility to meet people with american and english affinity and gladly join activities organized by Maria Ganauser for the members of the AAS.

Why I am an ÖAG member

I have been a member of the Austro-American Society for fifty years. As an American living in Salzburg, I have profited over the decades in numerous ways from my membership in the AAS. Numerous events I have attended have been not only interesting, educational, but also fun! Plus, through the Austro-American Society I have met some wonderful individuals who have become good friends.

Best wishes, Marty Gezek
