NAJAS seeks sponsors for programs, major annual events (Annual Meeting, State of the US-Japan Relationship Conference) and regional conferences.  For example,

PROGRAMS:
            Goal:  to delivery programs that travel to member Societies.  Most Japan-America Societies do not have the resources to bring in business, political, government, academic or cultural/arts programs.  An important role that NAJAS can play is to be the overall administrator for multi-site programs.  Obtaining financial support to underwrite travel, lodging and other expenses is critical to the success of this effort.  Sponsors will be prominently recognized in all program printed and electronic materials.  Sponsorships can exclusive or shared with other sponsors. 

Example:  SPEAKER PROGRAMS.  Typically, a 1-2 speakers are asked to travel around to 2-3 Societies.

Possible themes:

1. Japan and the US as partners in maintaining regional and global peace and security.
2. Bio-science, technology and the delivery of heath care.
3. The Arts, prioritizing contemporary musicians and artists.
4. Responses to increasingly aging societies.
5. Changing patterns of society:  historical & contemporary.
6. The emerging leadership in US-Japan relations, by sector or a cross-section.
7. “Cool Japan”:  bringing to the US, the creative forces behind Anime, Manga, J-Pop.
8. The traditional Japanese Arts
9. Other

Estimated cost for a Speaker Program:  $10,000 per site.  This includes average airfare, lodging, honorarium and administrative expenses.  Costs can vary considerably, depending on the speaker.
