ANC-WR Activists Raise Awareness about Armenian American Issues at
California Democratic Party Convention
San Jose, CA - The Armenian National Committee - Western Region
(ANC-WR) attended the California Democratic Party's (CRP) annual
convention which took place from March 28 through the 30 in San Jose,
California. ANC-WR Community Relations Director Haig Hovsepian
participated in the event along with local San Jose ANC activists.
"What a convention! We look forward to this every year," said Haig
Hovsepian, ANC-WR Community Relations Director. "It is great
connecting with all our friends but also getting to know new
communities and organizations from across the state," he added.
Several notables including CA State Controller John Chiang, U.S.
Representative Adam Schiff, CA Senator Joe Simitian, and CA Assembly
Member Warren Furutani visited the ANC-WR booth. Activists raised
awareness about Armenian American issues, connected with other
community organizations and met other Armenian Americans participating
in the convention.
Unlike the CA Republican Party, the CA Democratic Party only hosts one
convention per year, making participation in this event all that more
important. The ANC-WR looks forward to continuing strong
participation in these public affairs conventions and educational
activities.
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.
