Armineh Chelebian for Assembly 40th AD 20742 Malden St. Winnetka Ca 91306 Tel: (818) 772-8173 Fax: (818) 772-8176 Email: Chelebian@aol.com

My name is Armineh S. Chelebian; I graduated from C.S.U.N. back in 1984 with a B.S. degree in Business Administration Accounting.

During my 20 years professional career I have gained a well-rounded experience in all areas of Auditing, Accounting, Management, Budgeting, Financial Analysis, Tax, Purchasing, Vendor Negotiation, Consulting and Business Entrepreneurship.

In 2001 I became involved in politics by assisting Honorable Bob Yousefian, current Councilmember and immediate past Mayor of City of Glendale to win his campaign. As a result, I discovered my own personal interest in politics, campaigns, community involvement, and public serventhood and therefore saw the opportunity to make a difference and give back to my community!

At the time, I kept my sole proprietorship A.S.C. Accounting and Financial Consulting Services and decided to pursue my new found passion.

These last five years of involvement in politics, campaigns, community and public service, have been educational, rewarding, exciting and a growth period. I have learned tremendously, and have had the opportunity to give back to my community and make a difference. I have managed to run for office, be elected, serve and work on numerous political, community, municipal boards and committees on a volunteer basis, and on many of them have assumed the Chairmanship responsibility.

Currently, I have decided to bring my five years of positive experience in politics and community service along with my 20 years of experience in Accounting/Finance in to a new opportunity where I can continue to make a difference and give back to my community, as the next upcoming Assemblywomen for State Assembly District 40 in 2006 elections.

Warmest Regards,

Armineh S. Chelebian
