Date and Time:
Friday - November 13th 

2:15 - 3:00 pm - Membership Meeting (all are welcome) 

3:00 - 5:00 pm - The public program will feature the following speakers:

  • Ambassador Kathleen Stephens - Former U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea (2008-2011) and former Peace Corps Volunteer in Korea

In addition to these great speakers, we will be presenting this year's O'Donnell Award and our Giving Back Award.

5:00 - 6:30 pm - the meeting will be followed by a reception at the Korean Cultural Center.  

An additional bonus for those attending this year's annual meeting is the opportunity
to see the current exhibit at the Center.  Entitled Hanji: Embracing Color, a new
exhibition of works by artist 
Lee Seung-chul which explores the chromatic
and sculptural possibilities of 
hanji, traditional Korean paper, while also tracing
its deep cultural roots as a hand-made medium for both craft and communication.


​We would like to acknowledge the generous support provided by the Korean Cultural Center to our annual meeting this year.
 



 Saturday - November 14th

We have two programs which will be open to attendees on Saturday.  Both will require reservations (and space is limited).  The two options are a visit to the Korean Legation (tentatively scheduled for 1:30 to 3:00 pm) and a guided tour of the Korean art at the National Museum of Asian Art (tentatively scheduled for Saturday morning.).  Further details and information on making reservations will be available soon.  

​We have two participation options - in person or virtual.  Please select the appropriate button below.  Thank you!
