Board

Meher Khechadori

President

I was born in Tehran and moved to Glendale in 2001. Being born outside of Armenia and moving to United States presented with many difficulties with my identity as an Armenian. Tackling problems along the way, I have been lucky enough to sustain my national pride with the help of my friends, family and especially the non-profit organization Hyer Uniter. The deep connection that I have with my roots would be easily lost if I don’t continue working on them every day. This is a fight that all of diaspora has in common. Having a direct connection to the current Republic of Armenia and Artsakh has been an integral part of my success.

I am currently a two and three-dimensional art teacher at Glendale High School. I have been part of HOMENETMEN scouting and youth division, as wellas Boy Scouts of America, for over 10 years. I love being around Armenians, specially youth, and helping our homeland. I think that it is very important to help Armenia and Artsakh as much as we can. It is our duty as young Armenians to support our people. I like to go hiking with my two German Shepherds. I like to go camping, cooking, kayaking and creating new artwork, especially ceramics, during my free time.

I also work at real state office as an office coordinator. I believe it is really important to give back to our community and help those who are less fortunate. Even if we change one life, that's more than none. During my free time, I like to go running, do scrapbooking, baking, playing basketball, reading, and watching movies.
