                                   Our Mission

  The Japan-America Society of West Michigan's mission is to promote cultural, business, educational and social exchange for the development of both Japanese and American communities in Lansing, Battle Creek, Coldwater, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids and other cities in our area.  We are part of a network of approximately 40 other chapters around the nation, the National Association of Japan-America Societies.  We were established in 1999 in Battle Creek and have been active since then conducting a pottery exhibit, concerts, film series, speakers, school outreach programs, golf outings, business programs and many others around West Michigan.
