As we go through trying times for the Armenian nation, our advocacy and work will be more vital than ever. We will not only be working to maintain and strengthen our communities and chapters throughout the United States but also expanding our reach and influence as we galvanize our communities, inspire new advocates, and stand up new chapters throughout the nation.\u201d<br><br>Iskajyan will be working closely with ANC chapters, advocates, and pro-Armenian allies across the United States to advance the ANCA\u2019s federal policy priorities and explore new initiatives on the state and local levels.
