GLENDALE–The Armenian National Committee of America Western Region
announced that Arsho Beylerian will chair the organization’s Annual
Gala Banquet set to take place on Sunday, November 2. The event will
take place at the world-famous Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The annual dinner provides crucial financial support to the ANCA
Western Region, which serves as a vital center of education, activism
and exchange.
“It’s an honor to work with a strong team of dedicated volunteers to
showcase the accomplishments of the ANCA WR and thank our generous
donors and supporters,” commented Committee Chair Beylerian. “I am
honored to lead this effort and share ANCA’s vision with new and
seasoned supporters and friends.”
The Gala Banquet will highlight the many successes and projects of the
ANCA-WR over the past year, among them the Hye Votes campaign, passage
of state resolutions, educational initiatives and America, We Thank
You: An Armenian Tribute to Near East Relief. “The gala banquet serves
as an opportunity to thank our volunteers and supporters who work
tirelessly to represent the views of the Armenian American community
and stand up for justice,” said Nora Hovsepian, ANCA WR Board Chair.
“Our daily issues range from local and state politics to justice for
the Armenian Genocide to a strong, prosperous, democratic Armenia to
an independent Artsakh.”
Last year, the sold out Gala Banquet attracted close to 1,000
attendees as it honored a variety of individuals who have served their
community and their country. Among them were Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti, Archbishop Barkev Martirosyan, Coach “Tark the Shark”
Tarkanian, California State Assemblymember Katcho Achadjian, Community
Activist Manas Boujikian and Filmmaker Ara Soudjian.
“The common bond that binds the ANCA family is passion for the
Armenian Cause,” said Pattyl Aposhian, ANCA-WR Board Member. “We are
excited to have an experienced activist like Arsho Beylerian who is
dedicated to our cause and focused on delivering another marquee event
with a stellar line up of honorees.”
