the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Committee
PASADENA, Calif.--Continuing a wave of positive momentum, the
Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee announced today that
Retired Federal Court Judge Dikran Tevrizian has rejoined the Board
of Directors of the local non-profit. Judge Tevrizian was the first
Federal Court Judge in US history of Armenian ancestry and widely
regarded throughout California as a civic leader of impeccable
reputation.
"I am extremely pleased and honored that Judge Tevrizian has returned
to our Board for the home stretch of this important project. Judge
Tevrizian is one of the most admired and respected Armenian Americans
in our country and to have him add his name, support and work ethic
to our project continues to showcase our positive momentum and wide
support from the Armenian American Community," commented Interim-Board
Chair Bernard Melekian.
The Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee is in the final plan
check stages with the City of Pasadena and will be breaking ground
shortly. The memorial project is deeply symbolic of the events of
99 years ago and appropriately respects the memories of the fallen
martyrs and their descendants. Judge Tevrizian joins a board with
exciting new leadership under Former Pasadena Police Chief Melekian's
Chairmanship and the addition of Geragos and Geragos as legal counsel.
The Board includes: Sandra Siraganian, Shoghig Yepremian, Greg
Afsharian, David Gevorkyan and Retired State Assemblymember Anthony
Portantino. Its non-profit fiscal agent is the Community Foundation
of the Verdugos.
