About Armenian Assembly of America, Inc.
Founded in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America represents the largest non-partisan Armenian-American advocacy organization in the United States, based in Washington, DC. The organization has built its reputation over five decades by serving as the preeminent voice for Armenian-American interests, fostering deeper engagement between the diaspora community and their elected representatives across all levels of government.
The Assembly's mission centers on empowering Armenian-Americans to participate meaningfully in the democratic process while simultaneously strengthening relationships between the United States and Armenia and Artsakh. By combining advocacy with humanitarian assistance, the organization addresses both the immediate needs of diaspora communities and the long-term development priorities of Armenia and Artsakh. The organization's work encompasses civil society initiatives, genocide recognition efforts, and collaborative partnerships with Armenian-American organizations worldwide.
What distinguishes the Armenian Assembly of America is its commitment to building consensus within the diaspora while maintaining respectful, non-partisan relationships with policymakers and institutions. Through internship programs, educational campaigns, and community mobilization efforts, the organization cultivates the next generation of Armenian-American leaders and advocates. Operating offices in Washington, DC, California, and Armenia, the Assembly continues to advance pan-Armenian interests by connecting diaspora communities with opportunities for meaningful civic participation and collaborative action.
