Watertown, MA – On April 5, 2006, the recently established AGBU Young
Professionals (YP) of Boston kicked off a two-part career development

Guest speakers representing the fields of Human Resources (HR),
Technology, Public Relations and Finance included Seta Marangoudakis,

Vice President, BPM Technology, Pegasystems Inc.; Elizabeth
Yekhtikian, Account Supervisor, Blanc and Otus Public Relations; and

Mentoring over 20 university students and young professionals,

young Armenians, providing insight into their respective industries
and guidance on career development.
The second part of the series, a Resume Writing Workshop, took place
