ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY APPOINTS COMMUNITY RELATIONS DIRECTOR IN WESTERN OFFICE
Beverly Hills, California - The Armenian Assembly is pleased to
announce the appointment of Narine Zardarian as Community Relations
Director.
Based in the Assembly's Western Region Office, Zardarian will expand
the Assembly's grassroots outreach in California and beyond as well as
assist with the Assembly's government relations program.
"As the Assembly prepares to celebrate 35 years of service and
accomplishments, we are pleased to welcome Narine Zardarian to our
staff," said Executive Director Bryan Ardouny. "Zardarian's experience
in state politics, coupled with her previous work on behalf of the
Armenian community, will make her a strong asset to our team."
Prior to joining the Assembly, Zardarian served as a Field
Representative for California State Assembly Majority Leader Dario
Frommer (D-Glendale). While working for Frommer she served as lead
advisor on issues related to the Armenian community, such as helping
propose a bill that allowed teachers to receive single subject
credentialing in the Armenian language. This bill, which enabled
schools in California to offer Armenian as a language elective in High
School, was later passed in the California State Assembly Education
Committee by Frommer.
"I look forward to the opportunity to strengthen and expand the
Assembly's relationships with Armenian communities throughout the
state," said Zardarian. "Together we can tackle the immense challenges
before us on the state and federal level."
Zardarian graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles
with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a minor in Spanish in 2003.
The Armenian Assembly of America is the largest Washington-based
nationwide organization promoting public understanding and awareness
of Armenian issues.  It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership
organization.
