ARMENIAN WOMEN IN AGBU MAKE A DIFFERENCE: AGBU’s Professional Women
Make Their Mark Worldwide

With numerous milestones, celebrations and international holidays
taking place in 2006, such as the AGBU Centennial, AGBU Armenian Youth
Association’s (AYA) 75th Anniversary, and International Women’s Day on
March 8, AGBU women’s groups are honoring the contributions and
talents of Armenian women around the world. AGBU’s Lebanon and Syria
Districts, along with the Plovdiv Chapter and Los Angeles Hye Geen
have sponsored lectures, conferences and receptions that focus on the
important role Armenian women play in their communities.

Founded in 1906, AGBU is dedicated to preserving and promoting the
Armenian identity and heritage through educational, cultural, and
humanitarian programs. Together, AGBU’s volunteers, donors and
supporters serve some 400,000 Armenians in 35 countries annually.
