The Board of the United States-Japan Foundation and the Foundation’s President James Ulak wish to announce Dr. Ulak’s resignation effective October 31, 2022.

During his three-year tenure as President of the Foundation, Jim engineered a complete restructuring of the Foundation’s administrative and financial processes, reformed and energized the grants and leadership programs, and significantly broadened the Foundation’s constituencies. All of this was accomplished during the uncertainties of the pandemic period.

Jim looks forward to the next stage of his career which will include conducting research and publication in his field of expertise, Japanese art history, and consultation with public and private art collections in Japan, the United States and Europe.

The Foundation offers Jim heartfelt thanks for his contributions and wishes him great success in future endeavors. Likewise Jim thanks the Foundation for the opportunity to contribute in concrete ways to the enhancement of bonds between Japanese and American societies. He wishes the Foundation every success in continuing its important mission.
