ANC activists from both New Jersey and New York came together for the
opening of the new office space of the Armenian National Committee
of America, Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) in Manhattan.
"This is an excellent opportunity for the ANCA-ER to continue to build
and strengthen its activities throughout the region," commented ANCA
Eastern Region Chairman Dikran Kaligian. "Following the recent success
of our first annual Eastern Region banquet, our presence in New York
City will add greatly to our efforts to advance the Armenian cause."
The office will be occupied by ANCA ER Executive Director Karine
Birazian, with the anticipation that activists from the NY & NJ area
will be volunteering their time on various projects overseen by the
region. The office will also act as a launching pad for a series of
small lectures, which chapter members of the NY & NJ ANC’s will be
able to attend.
"This is a wonderful addition to the great success the ANCA has had
this past year. The new office space will be a launching pad for the
organization to have a regular presence in NYC," commented Birazian.
With over 16 chapters encompassing over thirty states, the ANCA –
Eastern Region covers areas with longstanding Armenian communities, as
well as other areas that do not. During the past year, the ANCA- ER has
had opportunities to meet with new activists in Ohio, Florida, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and other areas, as well as meet
new activists in Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Delaware.
