Armenian American community leaders and activists are invited to
Washington, DC from June 24 to 27 for a national conference on new
challenges and innovative opportunities for advancing the Armenian
Cause.
The conference, hosted by the Armenian National Committee of America
(ANCA) and the ANCA Endowment Fund, is titled: "Armenian Cause 2.0:
Social Networks, Grassroots Power and Smart Advocacy."
It will feature an array of insider presentations, interactive and
hands-on training sessions, networking opportunities, engaging social
events, and visits to Capitol Hill.
"With our Armenian Cause 2.0 conference, we're raising both our sights
and our voices," said ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian. "As a grassroots
group, our best investment is in our people. That's why we are so
eager for everyone - from veteran advocates to those just getting
involved - to join with us as we explore how to use new advocacy tools
and strategies to better mobilize our community and more effectively
advance our Cause."
Training sessions, presentations, and workshops will cover community
mobilization strategies, congressional advocacy campaigns,
communications and media outreach, and advancing Armenian rights
through the courts. The weekend's educational schedule will be
complemented by social and networking programming.
