CULCON, The Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission and the U.S.-Japan Bridging Foundation were jointly honored with the Cultural Vistas Global Partnership Award on October 17, 2019 at the Cultural Vistas Gala in New York City.

Established in 2018, the Cultural Vistas Awards Gala recognizes individuals and institutions for their influence and notable contributions toward the advancement of global skills, leadership development, and cross-cultural understanding. This signature event brings together leaders from across the business, education, government, and diplomatic communities for an evening celebrating the diversity of people, ideas, knowledge, and skills shared through international exchange.

The three organizations greatly value their partnership with Cultural Vistas, through, for example, their collaboration on the TeamUp campaign.

Pamela Fields, Deputy Secretary-General, U.S. CULCON Panel, accepted the award on behalf of the three organizations.
