Thank you to everybody who attended, supported, and remotely cheered us on at the 2013 National Conference that JANM hosted in Seattle this past July!

Since the conclusion of the conference, we have been receiving a steady stream of really nice comments from people who attended, letting us know more about the experiences they had. We have also been posting conference articles, conference photos and videos, and conference reflections. You can access it all via our brand new Conference Highlights page!

And thank you to all who have supported us at the past conferences, including museum friends in Los Angeles, Little Rock, and Denver. It’s through projects like this that we have a real chance to work closely with JANM members and supporters from around the nation.

For that, we are truly grateful!

Judge Kerry Hada, a member of JANM’s Board of Governors, has recently been awarded the Foreign Minister’s Commendation by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Richard Clark and Judge Raymond Uno also received this prestigious commendation. All of the details are available here.

Thanks to George Yoshida, our “eyes and ears” in Colorado, for passing along this info, as well as for providing the above picture of Judge Hada and his family.
