Welcome Our Winter 2026 Capital Gateway Fellows!
This event is also an excellent opportunity to meet our Winter 2026 Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program (CGP) fellows, who have moved to D.C. from various parts of the country to build meaningful careers in the nation's capital.
ANCA Friday HyeLights networking events are generally held on the third Friday of each month at different locations, each offering new opportunities and themes. The series builds on our current youth programs and professional development opportunities, including the ANCA Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program (CGP), which has helped hundreds of qualified Armenian American recent graduates and professionals secure positions in Congressional offices, federal agencies, think tanks, and other political and policy-making arenas throughout Washington, D.C.
Strengthen your network and immerse yourself in the DMV-Armenian community. Enjoy an evening of good food, drinks, and great company while connecting with professionals across numerous industries. Whether you're an established professional or just starting your career, this event offers a unique opportunity to expand your network, share experiences, and learn from one another.
Make 2026 the year of new connections - we'll see you there!
