ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY OF AMERICA APPOINTS ARPI VARTANIAN AS REGIONAL DIRECTOR
IN ARMENIA
WASHINGTON, DC - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) is pleased
to announce that Arpi Vartanian will fill the newly-created Regional
Director position in Yerevan, Armenia effective immediately.
Since 1994, Vartanian has been a long-time supporter of Assembly
activities. She has served the Assembly in a number of capacities, both in
Yerevan and in Washington, DC. Some of those positions included Country
Director, Acting Executive Director (in Washington), Armenian American
Action Committee (ARAMAC) & Internship Program Director, and NGO Center
Director.
The Armenia regional office will work closely with Assembly headquarters in
Washington, DC and the Assembly's other offices in Los Angeles, California
and Boston, Massachusetts to implement these changes. As previously
announced, the Assembly is rebuilding its capacity as the most effective
voice for Armenians in our nation's capital.
She succeeds Armina Darbinian who served as Country Director of the
Assembly's Armenia office from 2010 until this April. Vartanian has lived
in Armenia since 1993 and brings extensive experience to this position. In
addition to working with the Assembly, she has worked with the Armenian
General Benevolent Union and with the Armenian Monuments Awareness Project
(AMAP) Human Development NGO.
`Arpi's talent and experience gained in Washington, DC, Armenia, Nagorno
Karabakh, and the region is invaluable as we look to further strengthen
U.S.-Armenia, U.S.-Karabakh relations,' stated Assembly Board Co-Chairmen
Anthony Barsamian and Van Krikorian. `Her record with the Assembly
is
exemplary and speaks for itself.'
With Armina Darbinian's depature, the Co-Chairmen stated, `Armina
distinguished herself in documenting the cross border fire from Azerbaijan
into Armenian schools and civilian areas. We wish Armina all the best in
her future endeavors,' Barsamian and Krikorian said.
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding and
awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt membership organization.
