Representative Xavier Becerra To Join Community for Special
Congressional Briefing
Los Angeles, CA - The Armenian National Committee - Western Region
(ANC-WR) announced it will be hosting, along with the American
Hellenic Council (AHC) and the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA), an
educational issues briefing with Congressman Xavier Becerra (CA-31) on
May 27, 2009 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This event is part of the
ANC-WR's Leadership Speaker Series, and will take place at St. Sophia
Greek Orthodox Cathedral located at 1324 South Normandie Avenue, Los
Angeles, CA 90006.
`Education is at the forefront of the ANC-WR's work,' stated ANC-WR
Executive Director Andrew Kzirian. `We look forward to having the
Congressman share his perspective on various issues - and what better
opportunity than for the community to hear from a leader in Congress
about the most pressing concerns in our society today,' he added.
The Armenian National Committee has had a longstanding relationship
with Becerra since his election to the California State Assembly in
1990. In that post he represented Little Armenia and was a frequent
guest at the Hollywood ANC offices on Vermont Avenue. Since his
election to the House in 1992, Becerra has established a strong
working relationship with ANC activists throughout his district,
particularly in Eagle Rock and areas of his district bordering the
City of Glendale.
Congressman Xavier Becerra has been a Member of the House of
Representatives since 1993, representing California's 31st
Congressional District. Becerra currently serves as the Democratic
Caucus Vice Chair in the 111th Congress, which is the fifth highest
position after only House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-08), House Majority
Leader Steny Hoyer (MD-05), Majority Whip James Clyburn (SC-06) and
Caucus Chair John Larson (CT-01). Becerra will provide perspective on
issues of concern to the community and will discuss recent
developments in government and media.
This unique event will feature the participation of community leaders
and will also draw staffers from various federal and state
legislators' offices throughout southern California.
For more information or to RSVP, please call Teresa Petrosyan at the
ANC-WR office at (818) 500-1918.
The Armenian National Committee - Western Region is the largest
