Community

Ayb’s most important achievement is the strong community—a group of people who, despite being scattered across the world, are united by a shared goal to develop our country through education.

Management

The Foundation’s highest governing body is the Board of Trustees, which is elected for a two-year period as a result of intra-community elections. The current BoT composition, with Aram Pakhchanyan as the chairman, was formed in 2021.
