United-AIO “Think Differently | Work Together | Act Urgently” Panel

Join me for a discussion about the future of Armenia during United-AIO’s day-long conference, Building Armenia Together: Wiser & Stronger.

Panelists will be the leaders of six of the Armenian organizations participating in United-AIO. The moderator will invite each leader to make a brief introductory statement about his or her organization followed by a moderated discussion that will address questions such as: Why have Diasporan organizations come together now? What are the challenges that stand in the way of collaboration? How can Diasporan organizations overcome those challenges? What change do each hope to see going forward in the approach and behavior of Diasporan organizations? How can unaffiliated Armenians be brought into the mainstream of Armenian Diasporan activity?
