ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY TO HOLD ANNUAL TRUSTEES MEETING
& ADVOCACY CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON
Washington, DC - The Armenian Assembly will hold its Annual Trustees
Meeting and Advocacy Conference on April 23-24, 2007 at the Renaissance
Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC.
The two-day event kicks off with the Annual Trustees Meeting where
Assembly leaders will review the past year and discuss the
organization's upcoming plans and initiatives. In addition, participants
will be briefed on pending legislation and sharpen their skills with an
advocacy training session. Activists will also embark on a full day of
meetings with Members of Congress and their staff to advocate for
critical legislation and strengthen the U.S.-Armenia relationship.
"This is a great opportunity to come together in our nation's capital to
press for key legislation affirming the Armenian Genocide," said Board
of Trustees Chairman Hirair Hovnanian. "We encourage all of our members
and activists to attend."
On the evening of April 24, Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Frank Pallone, Jr.
(D-NJ) and Joseph Knollenberg (R-MI) will spearhead a Capitol Hill
commemoration for the 92nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This
pan-Armenian event will be held in conjunction with the Armenian Embassy
and will feature former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John M. Evans as the
keynote speaker.

April 23, 2007
