NEW YORK, NY--(NewMediaWire - Jul 1, 2015) - GAHC (OTC
PINK: GAHC) is pleased to announce the hiring of
Maralin Falik as Chief Executive Officer of Global Elections
Services Inc., (GES), a wholly owned subsidiary of GAHC.
On February 25, 2015, GES was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Delaware. GES provides comprehensive technology-enabled
election services to clients. The goals of GES are to assist
private organizations manage elections, strengthen corporate
governance, increase member participation and reduce costs. Maralin
Falik has decades of experience in election administration,
integrating multiple methods of voting; paper ballots, Internet
voting, telephone voting or any combination of these methods.
Maralin Falik has been supervising elections since 1981, having
managed over 7,000 elections involving more than 40,000,000 voters
-- none of which have been overturned.
Maralin Falik's professional career includes previously working
with Honest Ballot Association, a not-for-profit organization
founded by Theodore Roosevelt, where she was Executive Director,
Election.com, and Election Services Solutions. Because of Maralin's
experience in providing complete election management solutions to
key private sector clients, including labor unions, associations
and apartment cooperatives/condominiums, she has been named CEO of
GES. Maralin's record reflects the quality of her work when
defending challenges before the Department of Labor and the courts.
Maralin has also testified as an "election expert" to the courts
and various oversight groups.
GAHC continues its discussions regarding the potential asset
acquisition of Elections Services Solutions LLC, a US-based company
that provides comprehensive technology-enabled election services,
primarily for Organized Labor Associations. GAHC is negotiating the
principal terms and conditions of such acquisition which would
likely involve issuing restricted shares of our common stock as
consideration, paying a cash purchase price and assuming certain
liabilities. GAHC's Chairman John S. Matthews is the son of
one of the principal stockholders of ESS. Accordingly, our
chairman has recused himself from our Board's consideration of this
potential acquisition.
John S. Matthews, the Chairman of GAHC, said, "We are very
pleased Maralin has joined GES and believe she brings tremendous
experience, and a strong reputation built up over decades. Maralin
will instill leadership, create a strong corporate culture and
develop GES to its full potential."
Maralin Falik, the new Chief Executive Officer of GES, said, "I
am delighted to be joining GES, and I believe there is an
opportunity to grow the Elections business, focusing on elections
for labor unions, apartment cooperatives, condominiums, and trade
associations. I look forward to developing a Mediation and
Arbitration Division, which I believe will enhance the GES business
platform. I also believe the proposed acquisition of the Blockchain
Technology Corporation by GAHC may give GES a strategic advantage
based on the provisional patent application filed by BTC with the
United States Patent and Trademark, office which provides for the
use of a Blockchain data base to enhance and support secure
electronic voting and election results."
GAHC is trading on the OTC Pink Sheets and has been publicly
traded since 2011. GAHC holds a number of interests, including
Global Elections Services, and Global Arena Investment
Management.
