Florida Armenians Launch Armenian Professional Network with Tampa Bay Mixer
TAMPA, FL – Last year, Florida Armenians (FLArmenians) launched a statewide professional network with an inaugural event at Malio’s Prime Steakhouse in downtown Tampa Bay, reported FLArmenians. Over 30 young professionals, entrepreneurs, small business owners and students from a variety of industries and professions were in attendance.
“FLArmenians has ignited a new era among the Tampa Bay Armenians both in community and business interaction,” stated Melik Keuroghlian, FLArmenians Tampa Officer. “It’s amazing how this launch has started a ripple that continues in motion,” Keuroghlian said.
The Florida Armenians Professional Network (FLAPN) is currently in the process of building a statewide database of Armenian professionals and business owners in order to facilitate opportunities for Florida Armenian youth and Armenian owned businesses. The FLAPN Business Directory will be published in the coming months.
Guests enjoyed complimentary food and beverages to the tune of Armenian and Middle Eastern music all while taking in the view of downtown Tampa Bay. “We’re pleased to see such a diverse group of young and professional Armenians come together and build the personal and business relationships that will carry our community forward,” stated Arsine Kaloustian, FLArmenians Communications Director.
Photographs from the event are available on the FLArmenians Facebook Page and on Instagram.
To have your business listed in the FLAPN Business Directory please send your company information to flarmenians@gmail.com. Please include any positions currently available with complete job descriptions and application requirements.
