Asia Society and Jack Wadsworth Fellows Program:
Asia Society has a long history of business programming. At the center of this was the annual Asian Corporate Conference, which has created links among Asia Society’s extensive network of experts, U.S. and Asian business, and key government officials from both hemispheres, for 20 years. With the establishment of many U.S. multinational companies in Asia and an increasing number of global expansions of Asian companies, Asia Society is shifting its focus to smaller conferences, focusing on specific areas or issues.
The Jack Wadsworth Fellows Program aims to strengthen the Society’s pre-eminent role in business programming across the Society’s global network of 11 centers. It provides financial support to distinguished journalists, scholars, or practitioners with experience in Asia.
The program honors Jack Wadsworth, a pioneer in developing a leadership role for American business in Asia.
