ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
REGIONAL COUNCIL
Los Angeles, CA- The Armenian Assembly of America’s (Assembly) Western
Region Office is proud to announce the formation of its Southern
California Regional Council (Council).
The Council consists of current Assembly Board Members Lisa Kalustian,
Joyce Stein and Peter Kezirian, Jr.; past Assembly Board Member Richard
Mushegain; 2007 Gala Co-Chairs Al and Diane Cabraloff; and former
Assembly intern and AGBU Committee Member of Hye Geen, Talin Yacoubian.
"The Council will play a pivotal role in working with the Western Region
Office and its Director in facilitating its grassroots operation and
community outreach initiatives," said Bryan Ardouny, Assembly Executive
Director.
At the inaugural meeting, the members reviewed issues for the remainder
of 2008, as well as upcoming priorities for 2009 – including the March
1-3 National Advocacy Conference in our Nation’s Capital and the passage
of the Armenian Genocide resolution.
"I look forward to working very closely with each and every member,"
stated Assembly Western Region Director, Yeghig Keshishian. "The key to
developing a strong and effective grassroots effort is to bring in
individuals that have left a positive imprint on the surrounding
Armenian communities. Working within this dynamic framework, I am
confident we will further strengthen and build on the Assembly’s
successes."
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding
and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
membership organization.
