    New York AYF Organizes Discussion on ANCA Gateway, Internship Programs



    NEW YORK, NY - On March 27, ANCA Capital Gateway Program director Serouj
    Aprahamian lectured to a group of young Armenian-Americans about ANCA
    internship opportunities in Washington, DC. Organized by the New York
    Hyortik AYF chapter the event took place at St. Illuminator's Armenian
    Cathedral in Manhattan. Aside from numerous young professionals, AYF members
    >From New York, New Jersey, and members from Hunter's Armenian Club were in
    attendance.

    During the lecture Aprahamian spoke about the Capital Gateway program while
    the audience listened with interest. The ANCA offers many different
    internship opportunities to students and young Armenian professionals and
    has been doing so for more than two decades, said Aprahamian.

    A short movie was then screened showing alumni and current fellows talking
    about their program experience. In the film numerous young
    Armenian-Americans voiced their thanks to the ANCA for giving them
    opportunities that eventually led to their current career advancements. ANCA
    Executive Director Aram Hamparian spoke in the film about the importance of
    having Armenians not only as interns working at large firms and
    Congressional offices, but of one day becoming CEO's and Senators
    themselves. Copies of the DVD were also passed out to each attendee.

    After the lecture Aprahamian gave the floor to ANC Eastern Region director
    Karine Birazian who also addressed the audience, stressing the importance of
    having a strong ANC presence in New York City. She outlined local
    opportunities to help out at the ANC Eastern Region office in Manhattan.

    "This event was a good learning experience not only in respect to the ANCA
    Internship program but about ANCA's role in Washington. Talking to Serouj
    after the program, I think I'm definitely going to give Capital Gateway a
    try," said Hyortik member Maral Najjarian.
