The Armenian American Cultural Association, Inc. (AACA) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization established in February 1995. AACA was founded to foster greater understanding and to strengthen cultural ties between the people of the newly independent Republic of Armenia and the United States through cultural, educational, and scientific exchanges and humanitarian projects. Since 1996, the primary focus of AACA’s efforts has been directed toward its humanitarian project in Armenia, the Armenian American Wellness Center. The Wellness Center is dedicated to saving, prolonging, and improving the lives of women through the early and accurate detection of breast and cervical cancer and to providing primary health care services to ensure the good health and well-being of women, children and men in Armenia. To learn more about the Wellness Center’s remarkable work, please visit About the Center. In addition to its humanitarian work in Armenia, AACA also organizes forums and events to promote Armenian artists, scholars, and scientists in coordination with museums, universities, performing art centers and embassies. AACA has hosted numerous events showcasing talents ranging from world-renowned opera stars to emerging young artists in many creative fields. AACA events are often held in Washington, DC at venues including the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Freer Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, and the Chancery of the Austrian Embassy. Many of AACA’s cultural events are held to benefit the work of the Wellness Center. The work of AACA is conducted primarily through a network of dedicated volunteers. These volunteers include AACA’s Board of Directors, members of the US Medical Advisory Board, numerous advisors, and members of volunteer “Friends” committees throughout the U.S. HONORARY CHAIRPERSONS Hon.
