Dr. Ara Caprielian, Ph.D., a dedicated son of the Armenian nation, will be posthumously honored with the Inaugural Everlasting Advocate Award at this year’s Armenian National Committee of America Eastern Region (ANCA-ER) 18th Annual Gala, on October 19, 2024. The gala will include an open bar cocktail reception, curated silent auction with one-of-a-kind items from the homeland, and awards program accompanied by a seated dinner.
Caprielian is remembered as an unwavering patriot, a dignified man and a genuinely humble, forgiving individual. Those qualities, as well as his selfless dedication to his nation, the ANCA and his church, inspired many. This was reflected in the watershed of messages received by his family after his untimely death from our compatriots of all ages from around the world.
