ANC-WR Intern Spotlight: Lori Keshishian
Los Angeles, CA – As a participant in the Armenian National Committee
– Western Region’s 2008 Spring Internship-Externship Program (ANC-WR IEP),
Lori Keshishian has developed various skills and gained vast experience
within administration and development. In addition to assisting with the
interns’ voter registration drive, Keshishian has taken the lead in
expanding outreach for the IEP.
"It has been a wonderful experience to see how the ANC-WR operates within
both the Armenian and American communities," said Keshishian. "The
Internship program has given me the opportunity to become more involved in
public service and a more active member of my community," she added.
A senior at Ferrahian Holy Martyrs Armenian School, Keshishian has recently
been admitted to the University of Irvine where she plans to study Biology.
Keshishian has also been a long time community activist and has volunteered
at the ANC-WR on several occasions prior to her internship. While
volunteering for the organization, Keshishian learned about the
Internship-Externship Program and applied for the Spring session, eager to
begin contributing to ANC related initiatives.
The Armenian National Committee – Western Region is the largest and most
influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy organization in the
Western United States. Working in coordination with a network of offices,
chapters, and supporters throughout the Western United States and affiliated
organizations around the country, the ANC-WR advances the concerns of the
Armenian American community on a broad range of issues.
