ANCA leaders discuss new strategies for advancing pro-Armenian policy priorities after US election

Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) leaders from across the country recently gathered at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum for an ANCA Federal Policy Retreat to chart new strategies for advancing pro-Armenian policy priorities in the wake of the 2024 election cycle.

The November 23, 2024, day-long seminar provided a robust platform to assess Armenian community’s growing electoral impact – particularly across key swing states.

The forum also focused on putting into place bold, new approaches to leveraging the growing power of Armenian American voters to advance the Armenian Cause in Washington, DC’s rapidly changing political landscape. Key areas of focus at the ANCA Federal Policy Retreat included engagement with the incoming Trump-Vance Administration and cooperation with newly elected Members of Congress, including the more than ninety percent of ANCA’s endorsed federal candidates who won their elections.

“We gathered – as a second army of the Armenian nation – drawing upon our collective strengths and strategic insights – to lean hard into the tough challenges and very real opportunities we see emerging in Washington, DC. ANCA leaders from across the United States represent the very best of us. They have the bold vision, deep devotion, policy sophistication, and real-world political skills vital to influencing Washington decision-makers. The fact that ANCA leaders are backed by a powerful grassroots network in all 50 states makes their advocacy all the more potent,” said ANCA Chairman Raffi Hamparian.
