SACRAMENTO--Assembly Member Katcho Achadjian, (R-San Luis Obispo)
on Monday honored Nora Hovsepian as the 2015 Woman of the Year. In
addition to her work as an attorney at law for more than 25 years,
Hovsepian is the Chairwoman of the Armenian National Committee of
America and a passionate activist on behalf of all past, present and
future Armenians.
"Ms. Hovsepian is an extraordinary leader throughout the state in the
movement to bring awareness to Armenian issues," said Achadjian. "She
has touched countless lives through her unwavering dedication and
continues to ensure that we do not forget the atrocities of the
Genocide. We are fortunate to have such a compassionate and giving
person working so hard on behalf of all Armenians," commented
Achadjian.
As a granddaughter of Armenian Genocide survivors, Nora has dedicated
her life to advocating for Justice for the Armenian People. The ANCA
Western Region is the largest Armenian-American grassroots advocacy
organization with chapters in the 19 western United States. In this
capacity, Nora leads an expansive network of activists representing
the organization to the public and local, State and Federal elected
officials to promote issues of importance to the Armenian-American
community. This year in particular is a monumental landmark for the
Armenian Community as it marks the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide in April.
"I am honored to be recognized alongside so many amazing women
from throughout the state. I am continually inspired and humbled to
work alongside so many dedicated descendants of Genocide survivors
who strive for truth and justice on a daily basis. To Assemblyman
Achadjian, I am thankful for this recognition and for the attention
this brings to current Armenian issues and remembrance of those who
perished in the Genocide," commented Hovsepian.
Born in New York to George and Hourig Kalebdjian, Nora was raised
in Detroit, Michigan and received her Bachelor of Arts degree in
Political Science from UCLA. She graduated as valedictorian from the
University of La Verne School of Law in 1989 with a Juris Doctorate
cum laude. Nora is married to Dr. Viken Hovsepian and they have a
daughter, Arev.
Each year as part of Women's History Month, members of the State
Assembly choose an outstanding woman to honor as Woman of the Year.
Started in 1987, the Woman of the Year Award has become an annual
celebration of community service and outstanding contributions by
women in California.
