APCSS has been quite successful as an enabler of leaders helping to increase capacities for progress and growth in vari- ous 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 interna- tional executive education and leader/organizational develop- ment 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 accom- plishing for the common good. They provide their thoughts on the APCSS learning experi- ence 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 vari- ous levels of country and agency representatives from around ing of specific terrorist and extremist groups, their motivations, the world.
