GLENDALE- After several meetings and considerable prayer, the Board
of Directors of the Armenian Missionary Association of America (AMAA)
approved a reorganization of the Association and the expansion of
its services.
Effective November 1, the current Executive Director, Levon Filian,
will begin the process of opening a West Coast Office of the AMAA
in Glendale, CA, and give direction to that office as the West Coast
Executive Director. "For some time, there has been discussion about
opening a field office in California to improve the work of our
organization by its proximity to the large Armenian Community in
Southern California. We are hopeful that there will be an official
opening of the office in January 2014," said Dr. Joseph Zeronian,
President of the AMAA Board.
The Restructuring Implementation Committee, Co-Chaired by Louis
Kurkjian and Thomas Momjian, is now in the process of searching for an
Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer to lead the AMAA and give
leadership to the Paramus, NJ Office, the West Coast Office, and the
Yerevan Office. It is expected that it will take several months to
identify and screen candidates and eventually call a person to this
important responsibility.
In the interim, the Board of Directors has acted to call Rev. Mgrdich
Melkonian as Interim Executive Director/CEO. He will take on that
responsibility November 1, 2013. In that capacity, he will direct the
activities of all AMAA personnel and be responsible to the Board of
Directors. Rev. Melkonian, who is in the United States on his rotation
between the U.S. and Armenia, is a well-respected and experienced
member of the Armenian clergy and is very familiar with the mission
work of the AMAA.
Founded in 1918, the AMAA is a non-profit charitable organization
whose purpose is to serve the physical and spiritual needs of people
everywhere, both at home and overseas. The AMAA is a nonsectarian
Christian organization that renders its services to those in need
without discrimination. To fulfill this worldwide mission, the AMAA
maintains a range of educational, evangelistic, relief, social service,
church, and child care ministries in twenty-four countries around the
world and often partners with other relief agencies to aid disaster
stricken areas throughout the world. For additional information,
