    ANCA GLENDALE APPOINTS TIGRANNA ZAKARYAN AS NEW COMMUNITY OUTREACH COORDINATOR

    Executive Appointments Monitor Worldwide
    December 4, 2014 Thursday

    The Armenian National Committee of America, Glendale Chapter, announced
    the appointment of Tigranna Zakaryan as the new Community Outreach
    Coordinator for the organization. Beginning this week, Tigranna will
    be responsible for representing the ANCA Glendale Chapter by engaging
    Armenian constituents of the broader Glendale area through grassroots
    advocacy efforts--in addition to organizing local community events
    and media initiatives geared to uphold Armenian American issues,
    and promote solidarity as we approach the Armenian Genocide Centennial.

    Tigranna Zakaryan is a longtime human rights activist focusing
    on restorative justice efforts for Armenia and believes in the
    importance of supporting the Armenian diaspora community with the hope
    of connecting these efforts back to effective state-building in her
    homeland. She has conducted research and traveled in remote regions
    of western Armenia and has connected her experiences to studying
    post-genocide restoration and refugee affairs in Rwanda.

    "As an Armenian American having grown up in Los Angeles and a current
    resident of Glendale, I am honored for this opportunity to focus
    my efforts on supporting the very community that has inspired all
    of my academic and social pursuits thus far, and look forward to
    dedicating myself to the hard work and collaborative efforts that
    await the future of Glendale."

    Prior to joining the ANCA, Tigranna has worked with low-income and
    homeless youth in designing strategic academic planning to ensure
    scholastic success; supported first generation college students
    as a peer mentor; and engaged in various public presentations
    both domestically and abroad regarding her field-research on
    peace-building practices impacting nations recovering from genocide
    and mass atrocities.

    "We are fortunate and excited to appoint Ms. Zakaryan as our new
    Community Outreach Coordinator," said ANCA Glendale Chapter Chairman
    Artin Manoukian. "I am confident that a young energetic person like
    Tigranna will contribute her academic and professional accomplishments
    in a manner that will build upon the achievements of the organization
    thus far, and spearhead new innovative developments for ANCA Glendale."

    The ANCA-Glendale advocates for the social, economic, cultural,
    and political rights of the city's Armenian American community and
    promotes increased civic participation at the grassroots and public
    policy levels. 2014 Global Data Point.
