American to State Board
LOS ANGELES, CA — The Armenian National Committee of America —

Schwarzenegger’s appointment of Frank V. Zerunyan, Esq. to the
state’s Medical Board. Zerunyan is a longtime supporter of the ANCA
and is currently serving as Mayor Pro Tem in the City of Rolling

"We are pleased that Governor Schwarzenegger has appointed an
outstanding Armenian American community member to an important
Consumer Protection board," commented ANCA-WR Community Relations

American who will serve our state with great distinction on the
Medical Board of California. His proven leadership skills will
serve him well as he seeks to enhance the Board’s Division of
Medical Quality," Hovsepian added.
"I am honored and humbled to have been appointed by Governor
Schwarzenegger to a consumer protection board in this great State
of California," Zerunyan remarked after the Governor announced his
appointment. "I am equally honored to represent 38 million
Californians on the Medical Board of California and more
specifically at the Division of Medical Quality. Public service has
been in my family for generations. It now comes full circle more
than 90 years later and more than 10,000 miles away from Ottoman
Turkey where my ancestors were murdered during the first Genocide
of the 20th Century," Zerunyan added.
In addition to serving as a Councilman in Rolling Hills Estates
since 2003, Zerunyan is an executive board member for the
California Contract Cities Association. He serves on policy
committees at the California League of Cities and Southern
California Association of Governments. Most recently, in 2006, he
was elected chairman of the board of governors for the Armenian Bar

Private Community Development, LLC, a policy driven real estate
development company. Frank V. Zerunyan earned his J.D. from Western
State University College of Law and his Bachelor of Arts from
California State University at Long Beach. He has also completed
his advanced legal studies in Corporate Taxation at the University
of Southern California’s Law Center.
The ANCA is the largest and most influential Armenian American
grassroots political organization. Working in coordination with a
network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the United
States and affiliated organizations around the world, the ANCA
actively advances the concerns of the Armenian-American community
on a broad range of issues.
