(Noyan Tapan - 24.03.2011) On March 24, the U.S. Embassy hosted a
concert in celebration of Women's History Month. The U.S. Embassy's
guests for this concert were 2010 and 2011 participants of the U.S.
Embassy-initiated Women's Mentoring Program. The featured performer was
the all women JAZZEL vocal ensemble. U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission,
Bruce Donahue, welcomed the guests and spoke briefly about the
central role of women's issues in U.S. foreign policy. He stressed
that all of society benefits when women fully participate in the
social and political lives of their countries. Women's History Month
is celebrated in March to recognize the contributions women have made
to building the American nation. President Obama proclaimed, "As we
honor the women who have shaped our Nation, we must remember that we
are tasked with writing the next chapter of women's history. Only if
we teach our daughters that no obstacle is too great for them, that
no ceiling can block their ascent, will we inspire them to reach for
their highest aspirations and achieve true equality."
In 2010 the U.S. Embassy launched the Women's Mentoring Program in
partnership with the American University of Armenia (AUA). In the
United States, mentoring is a widely used practice through which
people who have achieved professional or personal success mentor
the next generation of young leaders. Mentors provide career advice,
share their personal experiences, and serve as role models to promising
young students. In 2010, forty-five (45) Armenian women from a variety
of professional fields mentored 45 women graduate students at AUA.
This year, 61 women are mentoring 61 graduate students.
