On Aug. 16, the Armenian International Women's Association (AIWA)
Board of Directors discussed AIWA priorities, organizational structure,
and future plans during a retreat in Hampton Beach, N.H.
Specific topics included the need to rebuild the AIWA website and to
make better use of current social networking tools such as Twitter and
Facebook, especially as the organization reaches out more to Armenian
women worldwide. Governance issues and mechanisms to support new
leadership within the organization were also discussed and referred to
appropriate committees. Paula Parnagian, an AIWA member and president
of World View Services, provided skilled facilitation and will be
assisting with follow-up.
Present were AIWA board members Eva Medzorian, Barbara Merguerian,
Mariam Nigosian, Judy Norsigian, Olga Proudian, Joy Renjilian-Burgy,
and Alisa Stepanian, along with AIWA New England Chapter leaders
Carolyn Atinizian and Christine Garabedian.
The retreat took place at the waterfront home of Christine
Garabedian, who was bequeathed the summer home by her uncle, Charles
P. Garabedian-her mentor and source of inspiration since she was a
young girl.
The next AIWA Board meeting will be held in late September.
