I have been involved with the Four Rivers Cultural Center since the beginning. I was part of a team that traveled to Washington D.C. to lobby our Congressional Delegation for support and funding for the Center. I am a charter Board member and still continue to serve on the FRCC Board. As a member of the Japanese American Community I have a personal interest in the center that celebrates and recognizes all the diversity and rich culture of our region. I am proud of the educational programs, activities and events that we have to promote and support equity and inclusion in our community. I am excited for our past and future and look forward to our 25th Anniversary.
