The U.S.-Japan Council is a non-profit educational organization that seeks to strengthen U.S.–Japan relations by fostering people-to-people links, leadership development, and collaborative initiatives across communities, businesses, and government bodies on both sides of the Pacific. It builds an international network of Japanese American leaders, known as Council Members, and works with partner organizations to create programs that connect U.S. and Japanese counterparts. Its programming focuses on key bilateral issues and includes the Japanese American Leadership Delegation Program, the Annual Conference, and regional networking events. In collaboration with the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, it administers the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership formed in support of Japan’s recovery after the 2011 earthquake that funds educational and cultural exchanges and leadership programs.
