Building on a longstanding tradition of providing for the next generation, AGBU leadership adapted to the changing times, realizing that career success would now mean more than higher education degrees. Internships and work experience became key to enhancing their career potential.

The AGBU New York Summer Internship Program launched in 1987 to empower young Armenians worldwide through remarkable professional opportunities at the start of their careers. The success of the flagship program in New York inspired sister programs in various cities and has evolved into the AGBU Global Leadership Program, which now includes mentorship and leadership training.

On September 25, 2026, Richard Manoogian passed away at age 90. He was the son of AGBU's fifth president, Alex Manoogian, and his wife, Marie, and the brother of AGBU's sixth president, Louise Manoogian Simone.

A titan of industry in his own right, Manoogian applied his talents, skills, and vast business experience to AGBU, first joining the Central Board in 1996. He was then elected to the Council of Trustees in 2006 and later transitioned to serve as Emeritus Trustee on the AGBU Council of Trustees in 2019.

His long-running success as President and CEO of Masco Corporation, a global home improvement and remodeling company his father, Alex, founded after inventing the single-handle Delta® faucet, earned him the respect and esteem of his AGBU colleagues. He remained a source of wisdom, guidance, and perspective throughout the organization's recent history.

In a statement, AGBU President Sam Simonian remarked, "Given his own family legacy, Richard appreciated the importance of continuity and consistency while embracing opportunity and innovation. For all he achieved in life, as a business leader, a philanthropist, and a community leader, AGBU and countless Armenians touched by his largesse have been better off for it."

Today, the Armenian community in Greece numbers roughly 20,000 to 35,000 people, with the majority living in the Athens and Piraeus metropolitan areas. Armenians first arrived in Greece between the 5th and 7th centuries, during the Byzantine era.

Currently, several Armenian institutions in Greece include multiple schools and churches built over a century ago, along with numerous khachkars and Armenian restaurants. Next time you are in the heart of Athens, be sure to enjoy delicious Armenian food with superb views of the Acropolis.

At UGAB Brasil's invitation, a delegation of Brazilian journalists recently visited Armenia to discover and share with Brazilian audiences the story of modern Armenia and its growing potential for technology and innovation.

During their visit, the journalists met with the Minister of High-Tech Industry of the Republic of Armenia and representatives of various organizations in the sector. They also visited the Mesrop Mashtots Matenadaran, the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial Complex and the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, as well as the offices of AGBU Armenia and APRI Armenia, where they learned more about the organizations’ work in Armenia and their programs contributing to the country’s development.

Through this initiative, UGAB Brasil continues to bring Armenia’s story to wider audiences in Brazil, including a lively Armenian diaspora, offering a multifaceted view of the country - its heritage, ongoing development, and growing technology and innovation ecosystem.

Renowned for its splendor, the medieval Armenian capital of Ani was once a city of a thousand and one churches, rivaling Constantinople. At its height, Ani was one of the world's largest cities, with a population in the hundreds of thousands.

Today, it is a widely recognized cultural, religious, and national heritage symbol for Armenians and one of the most visible and 'tangible' symbols of past Armenian greatness and hence a source of pride.

In 2016, the ancient city was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, and its archaeological Site has become a center of cultural importance that may foster cultural exchange and deepen historical understanding.
