MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK APPOINTS ARMENIAN ASSEMBLY BOARD
MEMBER RACHEL KAPRIELIAN AS STATE SECRETARY OF LABOR AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly)
congratulates board member Rachel Kaprielian on her new appointment as the
Massachusetts State Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development. "I am
thrilled that Rachel has agreed to take on this new role, and I am
confident that she is prepared to continue the difficult work of getting
our residents back to work, and preparing both our workers and employers
for the jobs of the 21st century economy," Governor Deval Patrick said in a
statement.
Throughout her life, Rachel Kaprielian has been a leader - whether serving
as a Member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives or within the
Armenian-American community. Throughout her career, Rachel has been a
tireless advocate of Armenian Genocide affirmation and education. From
working with the Armenian International Women's Association (AIWA) to
playing an integral role in the establishment of the Armenian Heritage Park
in Boston, Kaprielian's dedication and enthusiasm is contagious. Joining
the board of the Armenian Assembly of America in 2007, Rachel continues her
service for the betterment of all Armenians.
In 2008, Kaprielian was first appointed by Governor Deval Patrick as the
Registrar of Motor Vehicles. Kaprielian previously served as State
Representative for Massachusetts' 32nd District (Middlesex) from 1995-2008,
and as Watertown Councilor at-large from 1992-1995.
"Rachel is someone that the entire community and especially the Assembly is
proud of," said Assembly Board President Carolyn Mugar. "We know she will
do a great job and wish her every success."
Established in 1972, the Armenian Assembly of America is the largest
Washington-based nationwide organization promoting public understanding and
awareness of Armenian issues. The Assembly is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt membership organization.
