The Armenian National Committee – Western Region (ANC-WR) attended
the California Democratic Party’s (CRP) annual convention which took
place in San Jose, California. ANC-WR Community Relations Director
Haig Hovsepian participated in the event along with local San Jose
ANC activists.
"What a convention! We look forward to this every year," said Haig
Hovsepian, ANC-WR Community Relations Director. "It is great connecting
with all our friends but also getting to know new communities and
organizations from across the state," he added.
Several notables including CA State Controller John Chiang, U.S.
Representative Adam Schiff, CA Senator Joe Simitian, and CA Assembly
Member Warren Furutani visited the ANC-WR booth. Activists raised
awareness about Armenian American issues, connected with other
community organizations and met other Armenian Americans participating
in the convention.
Unlike the CA Republican Party, the CA Democratic Party only hosts one
convention per year, making participation in this event all that more
important. The ANC-WR looks forward to continuing strong participation
in these public affairs conventions and educational activities.
