The conference committee has planned events that will celebrate the Center’s 50th Anniversary, invoke memories, provide us with new opportunities to build bridges across Asia Pacific cultures and to focus on significant issues in the region. They have also provided us with a timely theme, “Leadership and Community Building in the Asia Pacific Region.” Drawing on the rich experience gained in half a century of East-West Center programs and alumni expertise, the conference will examine key social, cultural, political and technical issues that impact Asia and the Pacific. We celebrate the accomplishments of the Center’s first 50 years and consider the challenges that lie ahead. Prominent alumni, members of the EWC’s research staff and Board, current students, and guests will share their expertise on these subjects. You will have an opportunity to enter into a dialogue with our EWC’s Board of Charles E. Morrison Governors, President, and Directors about current Center policy and future possibilities. Also, the EWCA welcomes your input into its plans to further the mission of the Center. We are pleased to report that the Center is robust and accomplishing its mission. The student program now includes more than 500 students, the largest number in over 35 years. All the members of the Center team including staff, students, fellows, and alumni are working together to achieve our mission. Since its establishment, nearly 60,000 people have participated in EWC programs and many of them have gone on to positively influence their communities, their countries, and the world. As the Asia Pacific region changes, we believe the Center’s mission of strengthening relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific, and the United States has become more vital than ever. We are pleased to report that the Center is healthy, progressing toward its goals Puongpun Sananikone and looking forward to the continued support of the alumni. Aloha, Charles E.

With pleasure and excitement, we welcome our fellow East-West Center alumnae/alumni and friends from near and far as we gather in person and in spirit in Honolulu to celebrate the Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary of the East-West Center. The “Center,” as we fondly call it, has shaped our lives in many ways: through our professional development, through the friendships and shared experiences, and through our EWCA community of colleagues. We send our Mahalo to the many, many alumni, staff and friends who have worked hard on our EWCA Conference and on the year-long Golden Jubilee Programs, in Honolulu and in numerous cities throughout the region. Let us once again share our friendship, our memories, our research and our laughter, and perhaps a tear or two, as we rededicate ourselves to the goals of the East-West Center — to promote better relations and understanding among the peoples of the United States, Asia and the Pacific … and beyond.

Yet, we all can reflect on the Center’s impact upon our lives. If you were here in the 60s, 70s or even the 80s, you can muse about the passing of years and recall those personal and professional moments of significance to you. If you were at the Center in the last two decades you probably can measure how well it prepared you for the dynamics of change in this era of globalization. Our 50th Anniversary Conference hopes to provide events and contacts with friends to enable you to enjoy old and treasured memories. The program will also stimulate you intellectually as contemporary issues are presented by experts and then discussed by participants. Cultural events will reflect our diverse local and international population and the materials you will receive in your registration packet represents three years of preparation of works that we hope reflect your EWC experience, and additionally places the Center in its proper international perspective. As with all conferences of this size, there are innumerable people who have given unselfishly of their time and energy. Every key Conference Committee was co-chaired by someone from the EWCA and the EWC. We are pleased that this format worked extremely well as alumni and staff welded together the totality of the conference we hope participants enjoy. From logistics to program, from publicity to recruiting volunteers, from determining cultural events to the raising of funds, from publications to organizing EWC Day, we thank those who came together to form a well-oiled conference team.
