ANC-PN to Host Event for its Young Professionals Program

Los Angeles, CA - The Armenian National Committee Professional Network (ANC-PN) will host a meet and greet session with noted political expert Charles Mahtesian on Sunday, February 25, 2007. The briefing will be held at 11:00 a.m. at the ANCA's Map Room located at 104 North Belmont in Glendale. Mahtesian resides in Washington, DC and is a young Armenian American professional who is widely respected by Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill and by national media outlets.

"The ANC-PN is encouraged that Charlie is coming from Washington, DC to speak with and meet young Armenian American professionals in the Los Angeles area this Sunday," commented ANC-PN Chairman Arbi Karapetian. "With the new 110th Congress in place in Washington, DC it is timely to have Charlie in town. I am confident that Armenian Americans professionals will enjoy sharing time with Charlie this Sunday," Karapetian added.

Charles Mahtesian is editor of the Almanac of American Politics, published biennially by the National Journal Group, and often referred to as "the bible of American politics." The Almanac provides a detailed look at the politics of the United States by profiling individual Members of Congress and areas of the country. Prior to joining the Almanac, Charles spent eight years as a national correspondent for Governing magazine, where he covered state legislatures, governors and urban politics. He began his career reporting on elections and congressional redistricting for Congressional Quarterly, where he was also a contributing writer to the reference books, Politics in America and Congressional Districts in the 1990s. He has served as an election night analyst for National Public Radio and appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including NPR's All Things Considered, C-Span's Washington Journal, and on CNN and the BBC.

Mahtesian has written for a variety of newspapers, journals and magazines including The Weekly Standard, Campaigns and Elections, and Congress Daily. He currently writes a monthly column on politics for Government Executive magazine and is a contributing writer and editor at National Journal magazine. He earned his bachelor's degree in politics from Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and his J.D. from American University.

The ANC-PN is pleased to provide Armenian American professionals the opportunity to gain insight on American political issues directly from a leading political expert from our nation's capital. Please arrive at the ANC-PN offices, located on 104 North Belmont Street in Glendale, promptly at 11:00 a.m. to ensure adequate seating.
