Bryan Ardouny is an Executive Director of Armenian Assembly of America US National Headquarters in Washington D.C.

Bryan Ardouny was appointed Executive Director of the Armenian Assembly of America in April 2005 following a one-year stint on the Assembly’s Board of Directors.

Prior to that, Ardouny served as Acting Executive Director and Director of Government Relations, where he spearheaded the Assembly's efforts to maintain Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act during the House and Senate floor fights in 1998 and 1999 respectively. The following year, Ardouny rallied congressional and community support for an Armenian Genocide resolution which nearly passed the House of Representatives, but was pulled from a floor vote at the request of President Clinton. In late 2002, he lead the Assembly's successful effort to remove Armenia when it was mistakenly added to the list of countries whose non- immigrant male nationals over the age of 16 residing in the U.S. must register with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

Before coming to the Assembly, Ardouny served as Legislative Counsel to former Congressman Michael Bilirakis, Vice Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, where he handled numerous legislative issues including: budget, environmental, international relations, transportation and tax.

Ardouny graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Hofstra University in New York and received his law degree from California Western School of Law.
