MEET 2026 ACYOA CENTRAL COUNCIL‼️
Next up: our Communications Chair, Talin Propes!
“I grew up in Edmond, Oklahoma, and while there were no Armenian churches, restaurants, or community, my mom prioritized visiting the Dallas church, learning the Armenian language, and understanding our heritage from an early age. Because of this, I eventually found my way to St. Vartan Camp, where over the years I was a camper, CIT, and staff member. My years at SVC showed me what it was like to be part of an Armenian community, and I’ve actively sought out as many opportunities to be involved and give back since. I’m so excited for the year ahead!”
As Communications, Talin makes sure our story reaches every parish and every member — sharing what ACYOA is all about.
