Armen A. Avanessians joins Fund for Armenian Relief'sBoard of Directors
New York - The Fund for Armenian Relief (FAR) is pleased to announce
that Mr. Armen A. Avanessians, a partner at Goldman Sachs & Co. and a
member of Columbia University's Board of Trustees, has joined the
organization as the newest member of its Board of Directors.
`Mr. Avanessians has been one of the visionary supporters of FAR, for
years sponsoring one of our most effective programs in Armenia -
ANSEF', said Randy Sapah-Gulian, FAR's Chairman. `He is very familiar
with our mission, values and purpose. We are excited about him joining
the FAR Board of Directors, and look forward to working with him and
using his experience and talents to advance FAR's strategic priorities
in promoting education and innovation in Armenia. This work is not only
about assisting the younger generation of Armenia in achieving their
career goals, but is also critical to the nation's ability to become
competitive in the global marketplace.'
Mr. Avanessians has always been keen on supporting education and
science. He provided an endowment to the Alexander and Hermine
Avanessians Professorship in Industrial Engineering and Operations
Research in memory of his parents. In 2006, he created the Janette and
Armen Avanessians Diversity Award to enhance diversity in departmental,
school and university programs at Columbia University.
"Armenia still needs the encouragement of the Diaspora to know that
people out here care about their future," Mr. Avanessians said. "They
can build up their country themselves. They have the brainpower and the
knowledge. They just need a slight boost from us. I am honored to join
the FAR Board and look forward to working with my colleagues in serving
the people of Armenia."
