ANCA-ER to Honor Senators Bob and Elizabeth Dole at Annual Banquet
NEW YORK, N.Y.—The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Eastern Region will be honoring Senators Robert and Elizabeth Dole with its Vahan Cardashian Award, to be presented at the 5th Annual Banquet on Sat., Oct. 15. The ANCA-ER will host the event at the Seaport Hotel and Convention Center in Boston, Mass.
“We encourage you to attend this event as we will recognize several exceptional individuals for their service to our community,” said Joshua Tevekelian, the ANCA-ER Banquet Committee chair. In past years, this event has attracted more than 300 individuals from the Eastern United States, including prominent U.S. officials and numerous Armenian American community leaders.




Bob and Elizabeth Dole are fine examples of what the leaders of the US
Congress ought to be – courageous, thoughtful and honest. Senator Dole’s loyalty to Dr. Hampar Kelikian is legendary. Elizabeth Dole was a strong voice for Armenia during her tenure in the US Senate. I am pleased and proud that these two deserving Americans are being honored for being the moral conscience of our nation.
