Board of Directors Meet

Members of the St. Nersess Board of Directors met the afternoon of May 17 in the St. Nersess Library for their semi-annual board meeting. The meeting was presided over by Bishop Daniel Findikyan, Primate of the Eastern Diocese.

The new mobile electronic video conferencing unit was utilized to include five board members remotely. The board reviewed the seminary finances, upcoming fundraisers, and the summer conference alumni social media campaign. Fundraising Director, Donna Sirounian, presented the seminary’s fundraising initiatives, including the Hope and Gratitude Banquet.

In his report, Fr. Mardiros Chevian, Dean, reviewed the student body, new applicants for the upcoming academic year, parish visits and presentations made during the 2018-19 academic year, special visitors and events held at the seminary, the 2019 Summer Conferences and 2020 College Winter Conference, and the positive relations with the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Several board members attended the graduation that evening and Hope and Gratitude the following day. The board will gather again in the Fall.
