Assembly Majority Leader Charles Calderon
LOS ANGELES-The Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region
(ANCA-WR) welcomes the introduction of Assembly Concurrent Resolution
126 (ACR 126), introduced by California Assembly Majority Leader
Charles Calderon (D-58) on March 13. This measure requests that
the Department of Transportation erect informational signs on State
Highway Route 210 in the County of Los Angeles directing motorists
to the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America.
The resolution would not only aid in nurturing the traditions and
values of over one million Armenian Americans in California, Nevada,
Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Arizona, and beyond, it will also attract
thousands of motorists and tourists from all over the world. "ACR 126
symbolizes the pivotal role that the church plays in helping build and
cultivate the Armenian-American community across the Golden State and
beyond, as well as the importance of preserving the community's rich
religious history," said Nora Hovsepian, chairperson of the ANCA-WR.
In 2010, State Assembly Majority Leader Charles Calderon (D-58)
announced the passage of a similar resolution, ACR 148, in the
California State Legislature. The passage of ACR 148 called on the
Department of Transportation to erect information signs on Highway
60 in Los Angeles County directing motorists to the Armenian Genocide
Martyrs Monument and highlights the Monument as a beacon of awareness
for crimes against humanity. On April 15, 2010, the State Assembly
voted unanimously in favor of ACR 148, and the Armenian Genocide
Martyrs Monument freeway sign was installed on April 1, 2011.
The Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America
was established in 1973. The mission of the Western Prelacy is to
preserve and foster the faith, heritage, traditions, culture, and
national values of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The Legislature
recognizes the importance of the Western Prelacy of the Armenian
Apostolic Church of America to the people of California.
The Armenian National Committee of America-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 ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community
on a broad range of issues.
Special Message: On May 20, the 2012 ANCA Telethon will bring
thousands of people together from coast to coast in support of the
educational, charitable, and civic involvement programs of the ANCA
Endowment Fund. Be a part of the excitement! To learn more, visit
