 The Armenian
National Committee of America - Western Region Grassroots Conference
has become a
much anticipated event in the Western Region community and this year, the
conference returns on October 23 to the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel
in Century City, where it will serve as a prelude to the annual ANCA-WR
Gala on Sunday, October 25.
The third iteration
of the ANCA Grassroots Conference, which takes place biennially, will
anchor its focus on the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide and tackle
subjects that can spark discussion and empower the community to advance its
activism toward the realization of the Armenian Cause, which marked a
critical milestone this year.
With the monumental
March for Justice, which united 166,000 community members on April 24
behind the cause for justice for the Armenian Genocide, the ANCA-WR decided
that the ANCA Grassroots conference would, once again, become a nexus to
address the advancement of issues and aspirations of the Armenian Nation.
This year's conference will once again bring together renowned
academicians, political leaders, artists and activists who will discuss
issues such as the challenges facing the Turkish-Armenian community as it
emerges from the shrouds of oppression to become an integral part of
Hai-Tahd.
The recent inroads
made in the international arena, both on a judicial and political level
will serve as a backdrop for a discussion about reparations and advances in
that arena.
Federal, state and
local officials from both sides of the aisle will also come together to
discuss the changing political landscape of Armenian-American advocacy and
activism.
At the same time,
renowned authors and artists will discuss their experiences in advancing
Armenian issues through the arts, as well the role of social media in
heralding a movement that may bring together Armenians and non-Armenians
under the banner of human rights advocacy and advancement of justice.
"This year's
conference will incorporate the successes of past years, while looking to
build on its reputation as one of the most engaging, exciting and
informative conferences on the West Coast," said ANCA Grassroots
Conference co-chairman Ara Khachatourian, who is also the editor of Asbarez
Armenian Daily newspaper.
Specific panel
topics and panelists will be announced in the coming weeks, and will not
disappoint! Be sure to be a part of history, join your family and
friends and be a part of the 2015 ANCA Grassroots Conference.
