SPECIAL GUEST DANNY TARKANIAN TO ADDRESS ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY FLORIDA BANQUET
Annual Members Weekend March 5th & 6th
Washington, DC - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) is
pleased to announce that Assembly Member Danny Tarkanian, a
businessman and attorney in Las Vegas, Nevada, and son of legendary
basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, will be the Assembly's Special Guest
and Featured Speaker on March 6th in Boynton Beach, Florida.
"Danny has been active locally and nationally on public policy issues,
and we look forward to hearing his perspective on the participation of
Armenian-Americans in the U.S. democratic process," stated Assembly
Executive Director Bryan Ardouny.
Since its founding in 1972, the Assembly has maintained its premier
role as a nonpartisan advocacy organization. With members across the
country, the Assembly is the largest Washington-based nationwide
organization promoting public understanding and awareness of Armenian
issues. Members, who contribute $100 and subscribe to the aims and
purposes of the Assembly, are afforded voting rights. The Annual
Members meeting taking place in Florida will serve as an opportunity
to reflect on the annual progress made and the areas in which to forge
ahead for the betterment of the Armenian people.
"I have traveled throughout my home state of Nevada and across the
country listening to the concerns of everyday Americans, and have over
the course of the last year had the good fortune to meet with so many
of my fellow Armenians," stated Danny Tarkanian. "I am proud to be a
member of the Armenian Assembly, which I consider to be a critical
nonpartisan voice working to strengthen the U.S.-Armenia relationship.
Over the years, the Assembly has exhibited the pioneering spirit that
reflects the aspirations and goals we all share and care so deeply
about," continued Tarkanian. "Together, I know we will succeed as we
continue to work toward universal affirmation of the Armenian
Genocide."
"We encourage all Assembly members, supporters and friends to attend
our weekend of activities," stated Assembly Board Member and Co-Chair
of Development, Lu Ann Ohanian. "There has never been a more important
time to be involved," added Ohanian.
For more information about the Annual Members Weekend, or to RSVP,
please contact Carol Norigian at 561-734-0133 or via email at

Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public
understanding and awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a
501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization.
