Thank you to the Armenian American professionals and community allies who joined us for the ANCA “Summer Solstice” Mixer this past Friday at the Hotel Hive Rooftop. It was a great evening for meaningful conversations, new connections, and a strong sense of community. We were especially proud to welcome the 2025 ANCA Leo Sarkisian and Maral Melkonian Avetisyan Summer Interns—emerging leaders from across the U.S. and Canada—who are spending the summer in D.C. advancing the Armenian Cause. This event is part of our Friday HyeLights series, held monthly to strengthen professional networks and support Armenian youth through programs like the ANCA's Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program (CGP), which helps Armenian American students and recent graduates launch careers in public service, politics, and media. Attention recent graduates! We are currently accepting applications for the Fall 2025 CGP session. To learn more or apply, visit anca.org/gateway or email gateway@anca.org. SAVE THE DATE: Our next Friday Night HyeLights is on July 18th—we hope to see you there. #ANCAPN #FridayHyeLights #YouthEmpowerment #ArmenianNetworking #LSI25 #ANCASummer
