"The ANCA’s Capitol Hill Observance in Washington–DC is the only other event that attracts so many public officials of such significance," said the organization’s Executive Director Ardashes Kassakhian. "The Annual Banquet is an impressive display of the ANC’s determination to follow through on our goals–and it is important for public officials to witness this energy."
This year’s banquet will honor US Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-CA) with the ANCA-WR Legacy Award–State Senator Charles Poochigian (R-Fresno) with the Man of the Year Award–and the Near East Foundation with the ANCA-WR Freedom Award.
