“As the ANCA Houston Representative, I look forward to helping reactivate the ANCA here. We look forward to continuing the years of service that organization has promoted in and around Houston. We greatly appreciate the ANCA Western Region’s diligent work in getting all Armenian communities connected, and to get the Houston community involved to educate the local representatives whenever necessary through representation and education,” stated Vrouir Frankian of ANCA Houston.
