    Armenian Missionary Association of America

    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,
