ENCINO-The Armenian National Committee of America, San Fernando
Valley West Chapter has announced that it will be honoring long time
community activist Nichan Kulukian with the Hai-Tahd Award. The award
will be presented to Kulukian at the ANCA-SFW inaugural banquet which
will be held on April 7 at 5 p.m. at the Sheraton Universal Hotel in
Universal City.
"I'm honored to be receiving the Hai-Tahd Award from the ANCA-SFW
Chapter" stated Kulukian. "I consider it my duty to promote the ideals
and activities of Hye Tad" he added.
Nichan has a distinguished record of service in the positions he has
held. Kulukian was first active in the Montreal Armenian Community
where he volunteered to teach Armenian Culture and Language in Sourp
Hagop Saturday school from 1971 to 1981. He later helped found the
Horizon weekly newspaper in 1979, which is still in circulation today.
Kulukian also helped establish the Sourp Hagop Armenian School in
Montreal Canada in 1974. During later years, under his chairmanship
the school expanded to a full high school serving 800 students,
before his departure to Los Angeles in 1988.
In Los Angeles, Kulukian continued his service to the community and its
education by teaching various subjects at Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High
School until 1991; and becoming principal of ARS "Anahid" Chapter's
Saturday School from 1999 to 2002.
Nichan continued his service to his community in other spheres. In
2001 he was appointed to the California Universal Access Task Force
(UAWG) commissioned by the then Governor as consumer representative,
to find ways to improve programs and services offered through Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) used by consumers with disabilities.
Kulukian has also been an active member of the San Fernando Valley.
Since 1995 he has served as an Executive Board Member and as past
Chairman of ANCA San Fernando Valley West Chapter, and for the last
three years he concurrently serves as Board member with the ANCA San
Fernando Valley North Chapter also.
"Nichan Kulukian has an exemplary record for organizing activism in
the Armenian community," stated ANCA-SFW Executive Board Member Talar
Derderian. "His tireless service to the community is inspirational
and we are overjoyed to be honoring him" concluded Derderian.
