ANCA Eastern Region Board of Directors Announces New Executive Director
New York, NY--The Armenian National Committee (ANC) Eastern Region
Board of Directors announced the hiring of ANC activist Karine Birazian
as the region 's new Executive Director.
"We are excited to have Karine joining our staff. As one of our
most proactive activists across the entire region, she brings
experience, energy, and an extraordinary example of dedication to her
position as Executive Director," said ANC-ER Board Chairman Dikran
Kaligian. "Karine will greatly assist the ANC to further promote
important issues of concern to Armenian Americans."
"I am thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to begin working
at the Armenian National Committee," stated Birazian. "The task ahead
promises to be exciting and, at the same time, challenging. I look
forward to working with our local chapters and activists to help
advance our interests at the local, state and federal level."
Birazian, who earned a Bachelors of Science in Nursing, is currently
a critical care nurse in Park Ridge, Illinois. Working as a nurse for
over two years, Birazian serves as chairwoman of committees within
the hospital advocating for advancing the nursing practice.
A prominent activist in the ANC of Illinois, Birazian currently
lectures to students at several schools about the Armenian Genocide.
In 2005, she worked with activists to help pass an Illinois mandate
on teaching genocide in the curriculum. She has been an leader
in the community promoting the growth of Hai Tahd, facilitating
various public forums, building coalitions with other organizations,
planning Genocide commemorations, meeting with Members of Congress, and
organizing demonstrations for the advancement of the Armenian Cause.
Current ANC Eastern Region Executive Director Doug Geogerian will
be stepping down at the end of August to return to the field of
education in the New York area. "Doug has had a distinguished and
productive two years directing the region's Hai Tahd work. He helped
expand the breadth of ANC work into new spheres and maintained an
active schedule of visiting local ANCs, including tapping new human
resources for ANC activity in parts of Georgia, Florida, and Ohio.
We wish him great success in his endeavors and in his future work on
the ANC regional board."
The Armenian National Committee is the largest and most influential
Armenian American grassroots political organization. Working in
coordination with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters
throughout the United States and affiliated organizations around the
world, the ANC actively advances the concerns of the Armenian American
community on a broad range of issues.
