ANCA-WR Continues To Reach Out To Tomorrow's Leaders
Los Angeles, CA - In its ongoing effort to prepare and educate Armenian
American leaders of tomorrow, the Armenian National Committee of America -
Western Region (ANCA-WR) recently conducted community outreach presentations
to members of the Pasadena "Nigol Douman" Armenian Youth Federation (AYF)
chapter and to youngsters at AYF Camp Big Pines. As the largest Armenian
American public policy organization in the Western United States, the
ANCA-WR is constantly reaching out to communities across the region to raise
awareness regarding issues of concern to Armenian Americans.
"The ANCA-WR always welcomes the opportunity to engage our community's most
valuable asset - our youth," commented Kzirian. "Meeting with AYF chapters
and visiting the AYF Camp to discuss contemporary issues, such as dual
citizenship in Armenia and how our youth can contribute to the Armenian
Cause, is a hallmark of our organization's purpose - which is to make sure
that tomorrow's leaders are prepared today," he added.
ANCA-WR Executive Director Andrew Kzirian presented a talk to the Pasadena
AYF on Armenia's new law concerning dual citizenship. He described to the
AYF members how this newly enacted law can potentially impact Diasporan
Armenians. Kzirian, who is also a fellow with the Armenian International
Policy Research Group (AIPRG), has published and presented his work on dual
citizenship in conferences in Armenia and the United States.
The ANCA-WR Executive Director also recently visited AYF Camp Big Pines in
Wrightwood, California. In a talk to over 100 Badenagan and AYF members,
Kzirian discussed the current Armenian Genocide resolution in Congress and
ways in which they, as leaders in our community, can take a strong
leadership role in furthering the Armenian Cause.
The Armenian National Committee of America 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.
