BOB COLLINS TO BE HONORED AT ANCA-WR ANNUAL BANQUET
GLENDALE, CA - Supporters and friends of the Armenian National
Committee of America - Western Region (ANCA-WR) gathered on September
29, 2006 at the home of Hovig and Aida Dimejian for the
organization's traditional Banquet Kickoff Party. Community leaders,
organizational representatives, activists and benefactors were
among over 100 people in attendance.
"This year's ANCA-WR Annual Banquet promises to be another sell out
event," commented Aida Dimejian, Chairwoman of the Banquet Committee
and a member of the ANCA-WR Board of Directors. "The attendees will
witness, first hand, all of the remarkable accomplishments our
organization achieves for the benefit of our community," the
chairwoman added.
Mr. and Mrs. Dimejian, who graciously hosted the event, welcomed
guests to their home and thanked those in attendance. Top donors at
the banquet kick-off event included philanthropists and long-time
ANCA-WR supporters, who pledged to sponsor tables at the Annual
Banquet. Attendees were also updated on the details of the annual
gala, which will be held on November 12, 2006 at the Marriott Hotel
in Downtown, Los Angeles.
ANCA-WR Chairman Steven Dadaian announced that Bob Collins, Chief
Instructional Officer for Secondary Education for the Los Angeles
Unified School District will be this year's recipient for the Man of
the Year Award. This prestigious award is granted to individuals who
have made remarkable contributions in advancing the concerns of
Armenian Americans and the community as a whole.
The ANCA-WR will honor Mr. Collins for his leading role in
implementing the Armenian Genocide curriculum in the Los Angeles
Unified School District. His efforts in bringing a full and accurate
human rights education to the almost one million students in the Los
Angeles Unified School District distinguish him as a community
leader.
"Bob Collins is an exceptional educational leader," commented
Dimejian. "His bold steps are allowing hundreds of thousands of our
fellow Americans to learn about the Armenian Genocide and why crimes
against humanity represent a grave danger to us all."
Due to limited space, the event is expected to sell-out shortly.
Those interested in attending the banquet may contact the ANCA-WR
office at (818) 500-1918 to reserve a table or individuals tickets.
The ANCA 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 ANCA
actively advances the concerns of the Armenian-American community on
a broad range of issues.
