Glendale, CA - Over 90 community leaders and elected officials gathered at
The Cove Thursday evening for a mixer hosted by the Armenian National
Committee, Glendale Chapter. The event provided guests an opportunity to
meet the new Executive Director, Alina Azizian, as well as the 2004-2005
board members. Guests included State Senator Jack Scott, representatives
from Congressman Adam Schiff's office and Assemblyman Dario Frommer's
office, Mayor Bob Yousefian and Councilmembers Rafi Manoukian, Frank
Quintero, and Dave Weaver. Other guests included: Glendale Unified School
District Superintendent Dr. Michael Escalante, GUSD Assistant Superintendent

Board chairman Greg Krikorian and board members Chakib Sambar and Pam Ellis,
Glendale Community College Board of Trustees members Ara Najarian and Anita
Quinonez Gabrielian, and numerous commissioners from the various city
commissions.
`During the holiday season it's difficult to get so many busy people in the
same room,' commented Azizian, `but we had a fantastic turnout. It was
great to meet the people that help make this city so wonderful. We have a
great coalition of community leaders working together to make this city even
better, and I look forward to working with them.'
Board members also spent the evening informing the community about the five
sub-committees within the ANC Glendale Chapter. Board Chairman Pierre
Chraghchian noted, `This year we have established five separate committees
to handle fundraising, media relations, community relations, elections, and
Genocide commemoration.' With the busy election season around the corner
and a new director to run the operations, the five subcommittees will play a
key role in the organization.
Alina Azizian was appointed in November as the organization's first
Executive Director. The Armenian National Committee, Glendale Chapter, is
located at 721 South Glendale Ave. in Glendale. You can reach ANC Glendale
at 818.243.3444. To find out more about the subcommittees (or to join),
