Washington hosts ANCA 2.0 conference
10:16 - 25.06.11
Armenian Americans from across the United States arrived in Washington
Friday for the Armenian National Committee of America's Armenian Cause
2.0 conference.
The event brought together veteran and youth activists who will
explore the future of social networks, grassroots power, and smart
advocacy for the Armenian Cause, Asbarez.com reported.
`We are pleased by both the remarkable quality and really
unprecedented quantity of participants in our national conference,'
said Aram Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. `We look forward
to a weekend marked by interactive presentations, great networking
opportunities, and a robust and constructive exchange of ideas and
insights about the future of our community and our cause.'
Conference participants began registering at the L'Enfant Plaza on the
afternoon on Friday, June 24th, in preparation for two kick off
receptions at the ANCA headquarters and the famed W Hotel, located
across the street from the White House. Early arrivals began a series
of meetings on Capitol Hill, with constituents discussing pending
Armenian Genocide legislation, the current situation in Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh and a recently introduced resolution, which calls on
Turkey to return Christian Churches.
