Armenia Fund Chair Delivers Keynote Speech at School Commencement

Hollywood, CA – On Saturday, June 27, 2009, Armenia Fund U.S. Western
Region Chairman Ara Aghishian, Esq. delivered the keynote address at the

event drew the attendance of parents, faculty members, board members,
community leaders and invited guests.

Mr. Aghishian, a former board member of the school, stressed the

community and how the Dickranian Armenian School, for many years, has
nurtured the next generation of leaders and opened many doors in the
realm of academia. Mr. Aghishian also stressed the importance of how the
school has played an active role in Armenia-Diaspora relations by
fostering a special bridge between the students and the Homeland.
