"We are truly delighted," stated Silva Katchiguian, President of
AIWA-LA, "that the Armenian community will have the opportunity to
join in recognizing the stellar career and outstanding accomplishments
of Katherine Sarafian. She exemplifies AIWA's mission and purpose to
recognize Armenian women in leadership positions and to acknowledge
their contribution to their profession as well as their positive
impact on society."
Katherine Sarafian has been a supporter of AIWA and its mission to
unite Armenian women worldwide and to address the critical issues
facing them everywhere. She has previously addressed both the Los
Angeles and San Francisco Affiliates. She has had a notable career at
Pixar Animation Studios, holding a variety of key leadership positions,
and has been an integral part of its success and growth.
Sarafian joined Pixar in 1994 as a production coordinator on the
studios first full-length feature film, "Toy Story." From there,
she continued to develop her film production experience as production
manager in Pixar's short film department, and as art department manager
on the studio's second feature film, "A Bug's Life." Sarafian then
moved on to positions in the creative services and consumer products
departments, eventually becoming director of marketing for the
studio. In 2000, she transmitted back into production at Pixar, first
as production supervisor on "Monsters, Inc." and then as production
manager on the Academy Award winning feature "The Incredibles." She
next took on the role of producer for the Academy Award nominated short
film "Lifted," which screened in theaters worldwide with Oscar winner
"Ratatouille" in 2007.
Sarafian has taught undergraduate film and television courses and has
represented Pixar at a variety of film festivals throughout Japan,
Europe and the United States.
An exciting program is planned for the luncheon with many guests and
celebrities from the entertainment industry. Proceeds from the luncheon
will benefit the scholarship fund for Armenian women college students;
the Women's Entrepreneurship Program at the American University
of Armenia to educate women in Armenia to start and run their own
businesses; and support of the Women's Support Center project in
Armenia which provides a safe haven for abused women.
