The Armenian Assembly will hold its Annual Trustees Meeting and
Advocacy Conference on April 23-24, 2007 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 US-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 US Ambassador to Armenia John M. Evans
as the keynote speaker.
