    Schwarzenegger Appointed Armenia Fund Chair to LA Water Board

    Los Angeles, CA - On Thursday, October 16, 2008, California Governor
    Schwarzenegger appointed Armenia Fund Chair Maria Mehranian, a longtime
    La Canada resident, to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board.

    Since 1992, Mehranian has served as Managing Partner/Chief Financial
    Officer of Cordoba Corporation, a civil engineering and construction
    management firm. Since 2004, Mehranian chairs the Corporate Board of
    Armenia Fund, Inc. in a volunteer capacity.

    Mehranian is a member of the American Planning Association and
    California Hospital Medical Center Foundation Board of Directors. She is
    a past member of the La Canada Flintridge Planning Commission, serving
    from 2000-2008.

    Water supply continues to remain a major challenge in the Los Angeles
    region and Southern California. The need for water has always exceeded
    the region's natural supply. With an expected population of 50 million
    in the year 2030, the health of citizens, the region, and the economy
    once again hinges on the availability of clean water. In this light
    water becomes more than an environmental concern, it becomes an issue
    that needs to be dealt with on all levels, including the efficient and
    innovative use of water to sustain and develop the urban fabric.

    As an urban planner working in the field for over 25 years, Mehranian
    has come to understand the land use and public policy issues that affect
    urban development and intends to offer her expertise to the Los Angeles
    Regional Water Quality Control board in an effort to make this important
    shift in paradigm.

    When asked about her appointment to the board, Mehranian responded, `I
    accept this appointment with great humility and I will actively work to
    preserve and enhance water quality in the Los Angeles Region for the
    benefit of the present and future generations.'
