ATP Expands Presence on West Coast with the Addition of Maral Habeshian to
Development Team
GLENDALE, CA--Armenia Tree Project (ATP) is pleased to announce the addition
of Maral Habeshian to the organization's US staff as Western Region
Development Director.
"The growth and influence of the Armenian-American community on the West
Coast is a force to be reckoned with. We quickly understood that with the
third largest concentration of Armenians in the world outside of Armenia and
Russia, California needed a strong ATP presence," said Managing Director Tom
Garabedian. "We're proud to have Maral on our team to continue the work done
by Hermine Mahmouzian and to work in collaboration with Anahit Gharibyan."
Maral's experience in working with development projects includes working
with the World Bank and IMF missions to Armenia, and the Armenian Relief
Society's earthquake relief initiatives in the aftermath of the December
1988 Spitak earthquake.
More recently, Maral worked with Los Angeles City Councilmember Paul
Krekorian and headed marketing and development for the joint USC-Children's
Hospital Los Angeles fetal therapy program, as well as development
initiatives and community outreach at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center.
She was also the English section editor of Asbarez Armenian Newspaper and
the project director of the inaugural ANCA National Telethon.
"It's a privilege to work for an organization that is improving Armenia's
environment with its planting and reforestation efforts and long-term
socioeconomic development of villages. ATP is heightening environmental
awareness throughout Armenia, and most important, by teaching respect for
the environment both in Armenia and in the Diaspora, it is nurturing a new
generation," noted Ms. Habeshian. "I am excited to help raise awareness of
these amazing programs and develop broad support in California and beyond."
ATP's mission is to develop Armenia through community-based tree planting
and environmental education. ATP seeks to reverse the loss of Armenia's
forest cover and to advocate for the sustainable use of our natural
resources. ATP's three major programs are tree planting, environmental
education, and sustainable development initiatives. For more information,
