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.'
Armenia Fund, Inc., is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation
established in 1994 to facilitate large-scale humanitarian and
infrastructure development assistance to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
Since 1991, Armenia Fund has rendered more than $190 million in
development aid to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. Armenia Fund, Inc. is
the U.S. Western Region affiliate of `Hayastan' All-Armenian Fund. Tax
