Albanian American National Organization

The Albanian American National Organization (AANO) was founded in 1946, when 27 Albanian-American youth representing nine cities gathered at St. Nicholas Church Hall in New York City. Since then, AANO has grown into a national organization bringing Albanian-Americans together through education, culture, community service, and connection.
