Dear Friends,

Welcome to Okinawa! All of the EWCA Okinawa Chapter members are delighted you have joined us here for the East-West Center alumni conference. Your presence is another reminder that we are living in an age of globalization.

Our conference theme is Developing a Peaceful and Sustainable Asia Pacific Community . More than a hundred panelists will offer research and observations related to this theme. As you may discover, this theme is very much related to the Okinawan philosophy of life.

We are deeply thankful to President Charles E. Morrison, Ms. Noreen Tanouye and other EWC/EWCA staff members for their kind advice and Keiko Yamazato support in making our dream of hosting the conference a reality.

We are also very grateful to Okinawa Prefectural Governor, Hirokazu Nakaima, and the prefectural officials for their generous support. We could not have organized the conference we imagined without the additional support of other companies, colleges and media in Okinawa, the American Consulate General Naha, and the Naha City Government. We appreciate the Tokyo Chapter’s great support and Kansai Chapter’s cooperation. The names of conference supporters are listed in the program.

Okinawa has a unique history, environment and philosophy of life. Some of that uniqueness will be evident if you join the Half-Day Tour to the Shuri Castle and Peace Memorial Park on the second day and optional post conference tours. Kem Lowry

Please enjoy the conference, the Okinawa experience, and the hospitality of all those who have anticipated your arrival for so many months!

Dear East-West Center Alumni and Friends, oﬃce of the President Welcome to the EWC/EWCA International Conference in Okinawa. The 2014 international conference provides an opportunity to learn about the ongoing developments and issues in the Asia Pacific region, hear about new programs and projects at the East-West Center, and reconnect with friends and colleagues. We wish to express our gratitude to this year’s conference committee members, who have given much thought and time toward developing a dynamic program around the theme of “Developing a Peaceful and Sustainable Asia Pacific Community.” Special recognition is also due the Okinawa Alumni Chapter members, who have worked tirelessly and contributed generously toward making the conference a success. Alumni participation on panels, at poster sessions, and as active audience Charles E. Morrison members will contribute to the overall success of the conference. We are most grateful as well for the support of the Okinawa Prefectural Government, gold sponsor Naha City and the many other generous sponsors and supporters who have contributed to this gathering. With the continually growing importance and dynamism of the Asia Pacific region, the core mission of the East-West Center — promoting deeper understanding and relations among the peoples and nations of the region — is more relevant than ever. We are continually energized by the enthusiasm, support and good wishes of our participants and alumni, and hope that this year’s conference will not only allow us to renew friendships, but inspire each of us to build new relationships. The most important product of the East-West Center is our more than R. (Rick) Brian Tsujimura 62,000 alumni, many of whom now hold positions of influence in their communities, their countries, and the world. The work and network of alumni are critical indicators of the Center’s success. This conference itself is a reflection of that key role; no other U.S.-based organization holds regular, biennial alumni conferences such as this in the Asia Pacific region, where hundreds of former participants gather, along with friends and interested community members. Your support, in addition to the support of the U.S. Congress, private donors, friends in the region and a strong alumni network, has enabled the East-West Center to continue to advance its mission. For this, as we say in Hawai‘i, mahalo nui loa — thank you so very much.

Charles E. Morrison R. (Rick) Brian Tsujimura President, East-West Center Chairman, Board of Governors

The East-West Center promotes better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Paciﬁc through cooperative study, research, and dialogue. Established by the US Congress in 1960, the Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options. 4

Aloha Kakou, associates oﬃce

We look forward to renewing old friendship and making new ones as we gather for this year’s East-West Center alumni conference in Naha, Okinawa. For many of us, this will be our first visit to Japan’s southern islands and we look forward to the wonderful hospitality associated with Okinawa and its people.

To successfully host a conference on this scale requires the work of many people. We want to especially thank the conference host, EWCA Okinawa Chapter, led by Keiko Yamazato and many others for their planning that has been ongoing for over a year. In Hawai‘i, we note with appreciation the co-chairmanship of Kem Lowry and the tireless efforts of the East-West Center staff and especially Noreen Tanouye. Edward (Ned) Shultz

With over 62,000 alumni world-wide, our Association remains vital and committed. We share the common bonds of living and studying in Hawai‘i and forwarding the spirit of aloha wherever we travel and work. The papers and presentations at this year’s conference offer a broad array of topics and provide an intriguing menu of choices for all. Through our interactions both during the conference and after hours, we can expect new insights into our global experiences and hopefully challenges that foster greater understanding and empathy within our academic village. The East-West Center remains a vital organization that perhaps better than most institutions fosters an environment in which people from around Asia and the Pacific can study, research, and express their opinions in an open academic environment. This shared vitality Nirendra Maske of inquiry will underpin all of our events over the too few days of our conference. We invite you to enjoy the discussions, renew old friendships, and continue to support the ideals of the East-West Center. Finally, we must not miss this wonderful opportunity to discover Okinawa and other parts of Japan.

Aloha e pumehana,
