ANC-WR Extern Spotlight: Armine Sargsyan
Los Angeles, CA - As one of seven Interns for the Armenian National
Committee - Western Region's Summer 2008 Internship - Externship
Program (ANC-WR IEP), Armine Sargsyan has immersed herself in the
promotion of bilateral ties between American and Armenian cities. As
an Extern for the Glendale Ghapan Sister City Association (GGSCA),
Sargsyan generates press and is helping organize the GGSCA fifth
anniversary celebration event.
"Being an Extern with GGSCA has allowed me to become a more active
member of my community," said Sargsyan. "I've always wanted to
contribute to the Armenian American community and this Externship was
the perfect opportunity," she added.
In addition to the work assigned to her by GGSCA, Sargsyan has spent
numerous hours volunteering for ANC-WR during the Navasartian Games
and for the Armenian Relief Society during the Mayor's Day of Service.
Sargsyan attends UCLA, where she studies political science. After
graduating, Sargsyan plans to attend graduate school where she will
specialize in international relations.
Sargsyan has been a long time community activist and is a Model United
Nations (MUN) member at UCLA. As a MUN participant, Sargsyan learned
about the ANC-WR IEP through a friend and was enthusiastic to partake
in the program.
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.
