April 8, 2010 - See you in 10 years! This census is done! All but a gleam in the eye of the 30+ community groups (see list below) that were involved in promoting it.
Once the tallies have been made and the final numbers are out, the biggest surprise won't be that for once a decent total number of Iranians living in the US will have been counted, but that the community groups managed to put aside their own endeavors and pull together to push through the biggest coordinated community mobilization effort in the short history of Iranian-American community groups in the US.

That was the dilemma that Davar Iran Ardalan had as a teenager in 1980 and not surprisingly, she chose to drop Iran from her name. Over the next few decades, Ardalan built an amazing career in journalism where she worked at National Public Radio (NPR) on shows such as All Things Considered, Morning Edition and Weekend Edition.

April 8, 2010, Washington, D.C. – The NYC based band Hypernova has been continually playing sold-out shows in the lead up to this week's release of their first album, Through the Chaos. An outstanding achievement, considering that the band only came to the United States in March of 2007 after years of playing in the underground music scene in Tehran.

That's when the band's manager, Reza Davoodi, reached out to PAAIA for help and advice.
