2015 Japanese American Leadership Delegation (JALD) Program Application Now Available
The Japanese American Leadership Delegation (JALD) program provides the opportunity for a select group of Japanese American leaders from across the U.S. to travel to Japan to engage with Japanese leaders in the business, government, academic, non-profit and cultural sectors. The trip also allows Japanese leaders to gain a greater understanding of multi-cultural America through the experiences of a diverse group of Japanese Americans. Upon their return, delegates collaborate with program alumni, the local consulates, the U.S.-Japan Council and local and national community organizations to continue strengthening ties between the U.S. and Japan.
Individuals selected must be able to travel to Japan from March 6-14, 2015 and
attend a mandatory orientation in Los Angeles on January 30-31, 2015.
Deadline for application submission: September 26, 2014.
