Armenian Assembly representatives attended a community briefing
by Ambassador John J. Danilovich, CEO of the Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) in Los Angeles, CA. The event was hosted by Armenian
Caucus Member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).

Danilovich offered a first-hand account of MCC’s work in Armenia for
the past several years. The agency signed a five-year, $235.65 million
Compact with the Armenian government in 2005 to improve irrigation
systems and rehabilitate roads.

Former Assembly Board of Trustees Member Richard Mushegain and
Assembly Western Office Director Lena Kaimian attended the event,
which included Armenian Consul General Armen Liloyan and community
leaders representing various organizations.

"MCC was pleased to participate in this meeting, co-hosted by the
Office of Congressman Adam Schiff, as a forum for open and honest
dialogue among friends and partners of the people of Armenia," said
Aaron H. Sherinian, Managing Director of Public Affairs for MCC. "This
latest meeting is part of MCC’s ongoing commitment to transparency
regarding the progress of its innovative programs, in places like
Armenia, that are helping reduce poverty through economic growth."
