Seventh International Conference of the Armenian International Women’s Association
October 9, 2014 @ 9:00 am - October 12, 2014 @ 5:00 pm +04
Armenian International Women’s Association (AIWA) has returned to Yerevan to hold its seventh international conference themed “Armenian Women in Action: Building Communities around the Globe”. The conference is organized in association with Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia and the American University of Armenia.
“Yerevan symbolizes not only the capital of the Armenian homeland, but for Armenian women, it symbolizes our driving belief in ourselves and in our future. This tremendous spirit is embodied here at our conference. In these few days in October, Armenian women will come together to envision a new world for themselves and one that will endure for future generations” – Suzanne Moranian, Ph.D, AIWA President.
AIWA’s mission is to promote and enrich the social, economic and personal advancement of Armenian women worldwide through educational and other community activities that unite Armenian women, promote gender equity, and emphasize our Armenian cultural heritage.
AIWA has been supporting the American University of Armenia (AUA) through the Women’s Entrepreneurship Program (http://extension.aua.am/women-entrepreneurship-training/), a high-powered 6-week training designed to address the specific needs, challenges, and opportunities faced by women in Armenia.
In June 2014 The American University of Armenia (AUA) received four donations from members of the AIWA Los Angeles chapter to sponsor female Armenian students at AUA throughout their studies.
