Society Honors Ambassador Howard Baker

The Japan America Society honored Ambassador Howard Baker at its annual Public Affairs Dinner on November 30. Nearly 400 people filled the ballroom of the JW Marriott Hotel to salute the former US Ambassador to Japan, who also served as Senate Majority Leader and Chief of State to the President of the United States.

The Society was also pleased to welcome the Ambassador's spouse, Nancy Kassebaum Baker, and the Governor of Tennessee, the Hon. Phil Bredesen.

Special thanks for the evening's success go to Peter Bass of Goldman Sachs and Shin Goto of Toyota USA, who served as co-chairs of the Dinner.
