AAA Board of Trustees Member Lu Ann Ohanian and her husband, Bruce
Ohanian, hosted an event for Armenian-American young professionals
at their home in Belmont, Massachusetts. Young professionals from
Massachusetts and Rhode Island gathered together to meet one another
and share their ideas for future events of the Armenian Assembly
of America.
The group welcomed Harout Semerdjian, Director of Public Relations
and Communications for KNOW GENOCIDE, a multi-ethnic coalition united
against genocide denial, founded by the Assembly. Semerdjian discussed
the pending federal lawsuit filed by the Assembly of Turkish American
Associations and others against the Massachusetts Board of Education to
insert materials in the State Curriculum Guide that deny the Armenian
Genocide. Attendees also discussed potential ideas for fundraising
events in the New England area. Bruce Ohanian encouraged the group
to be goal and mission oriented when planning such events.
“We are pleased to once again host such a committed group of young
professionals,” said Lu Ann Ohanian. “We encourage their continued
participation in the Assembly and look forward to future gatherings
to discuss Armenian-American concerns.”
“We thank the Ohanian’s and the young professionals for their
activism,” said Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. “Their dedication
ensures a promising future for the Assembly and Armenia.”
