2 CURRENTS Summer/Fall 2010 Director’s Message

This edition of Currents highlights some of our past 15 years of history as an executive education leader in this region. APCSS has been quite successful as an enabler of leaders helping to increase capacities for progress and growth in various security dimensions at home. We are accomplishing our mission of helping to educate, connect and empower security practitioners to advance Asia-Pacific security. We are real- izing our vision of setting the standard for innovative international executive education and leader/organizational development to help advance multi-national security cooperation and capacity building. We are proud of that contribution. We are proud of our thousands of alumni and what they are accomplishing for the common good.

They provide their thoughts on the APCSS learning experience regularly to us. A few of those follow: Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Ed Smith, U.S. Army Director, Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies “APCSS provides a continuous and useful forum in interact- ing and establishing contacts to understand each other at various levels of country and agency representatives from around ing of specific terrorist and extremist groups, their motivations, the world.
