The Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options. As a national, public diplomacy institution, the Center works in partnership with over 1,140 organizations throughout the United States (U.S.) and in the region. The collaborative research, education, seminars and outreach, and other programs bring together Americans and counterparts from Asia and the Pacific to work in an atmosphere of academic freedom on issues of mutual importance. The Center's exchange and dialogue programs involve multi-country, region-wide activities involving everyone as full participants. This past year, 3,055 participants from 79 countries and territories took part in Center activities throughout the region. While more information on the Center and its programs may be found at our website (www.EastWestCenter.org), the following is a highlight of the program activities during the year. EDUCATION PROGRAM: The Center is at the forefront of educating people of the Asia Pacific region to meet the evolving demands of global change. The Program focuses on community building at the campus level as a stepping-stone to community building at the regional level. The participant's experience is one of grassroots relationship building, cultural exchange, shared experiences, and communal preparation for future leadership roles throughout the region. The Program offers educational opportunities for future leaders in the Asia Pacific region and the U.S. in an era of increased social, economic and technological interdependence. Graduate degree scholarships and certificate programs prepare students and professionals to address the challenges and complexities of the world's most dynamic region. Undergraduate degree scholarships build and strengthen the base of future leaders in the South Pacific. The program also provided professional development programs for educators to strengthen the capacity of individuals and institutions to cultivate in their students an appreciation and understanding of the histories, cultures, and contemporary issues of the Asia Pacific. The program accomplishments include continued training of future leaders in the Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program, Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP), and college and K-12 educators through the AsiaPacificEd Program and the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP). In June during a "wide-ranging" town hall Q&A session at the White House, twenty participants met with President Obama as part of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative. The President reemphasized the importance of the region to the United States and told the group that "Southeast Asia helped shape who I am and how I see the world. And as President, I've made it a pillar of my foreign policy to make sure the United States is more deeply engaged in the Asia Pacific region...because your region is critical to our shared future." Other programs continued to focus on the Pacific Islands Women in Leadership, Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders on Global Environmental Issues, and the Brunei-U.S. English Language Enrichment Program for ASEAN aimed at raising the level of English language skills in the region. In FY 2015, 469 students from 53 countries and territories participated in the Center's undergraduate and graduate training and scholarship program that is unlike individual scholarship programs, since these students are instilled with a common learning experience centered on U.S.-Asia Pacific issues and community service. 6794836 438838 2668768 RESEARCH PROGRAM: The East-West Center's Research Program supports the Center's mission by engaging the research and policy communities in the Asia Pacific region on issues of shared concern. Researchers contribute expertise to broad and well-established networks of specialists and institutional partners, leading collaborative and interdisciplinary research on the evolving challenges of a dynamic region. They also provide insights and analysis to the Center's professional exchange, education, and public outreach programs, including its work with the media. The Pacific Regional Integrated Science and Assessment program supports integrated research across the social and physical sciences to expand the options of decision-makers including the Pacific community leaders and members of the U.S. congress to learn about and cope with climate change and its impact to the region. Researchers examine how the globalization of innovation is transforming relationships between the US and Asia to provide informed policy suggestions on how to minimize negative effects on economic growth and employment and how to share the benefits of science, technology, and other innovation through enhanced US-Asian cooperative agreements. The Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI) is a collaborative project to promote capacity-building relating to international justice, judicial reform, and the human rights sector focusing on Southeast Asia. The annual Summer Institute for International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights was held in Bali for professionals from the region to focus on human rights and business including the issues of corporate responsibility in the region. The Asia-Pacific Governance and Democracy Initiative is a multi-year project that undertakes policy relevant research, organizes capacity development and leadership workshops and senior level dialogues among scholars and policymakers, and publishes books and policy briefs on important governance and democracy topics in the region. 5890300 1087404 848520 SEMINARS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS: The Center has developed the most extensive program of trans-Pacific journalist and editor exchanges in the region, with exchanges for the Asia Pacific region as a whole (Jefferson Fellows) Changing Faces women leadership seminar to discuss and celebrate women's entrepreneurship. The Center also offers short-term policy seminars where senior and emerging leaders and business people from a variety of sectors focus on issues of regional concern. The program is developed around a thematic focus and provides participants with an opportunity to strengthen their understanding of Asia Pacific-U.S. developments and challenges, build a regional network and to become leaders with a more international perspective. Accomplished international journalists from a dozen countries traveled together to Hawaii, China, Philippines, and Singapore for the Jefferson Fellowships exchange to study territorial conflicts, resource issues, environmental concerns and more in the South China Sea. East-West Center in Washington supports the Center's mission through direct work with U.S. policymakers and opinion leaders in the nation's capital. It facilitates understanding of the U.S. policy process by its Asia Pacific participants through direct interaction with U.S. policymakers. It also continues the successful Asia Matters for America/America Matters for Asia initiative to organize and disseminate information, data, and analysis on the U.S.-Asia interactions. The Center also collaborated and hosted a "Myanmar in a Regional Context" conference examining the policies of different Asia Pacific regional powers toward Myanmar and their effects on the emerging nation's internal policies. 3521974 52545 655102 OTHER PROGRAMS: Other Programs include the Pacific Islands Development Program (PIDP), the China-US Strategic Philanthropy Partnership (CUSP) and Auxiliary enterprise services. PIDP is an enduring partnership between the Center and twenty-two island governments. It is the only program of its kind based in the United States, bringing together heads of government from an area that spans one-third of the globe. PIDP's role as a regional organization includes the five major activity areas: Secretariat for the Pacific Islands Conference Leaders, Secretariat for the United States Pacific Island Nations Joint Commercial Commission, Research & Dialogue, Education & Training, and Pacific Island News. CUSP is a growing initiative to promote communication, exchange and collaboration between the philanthropic sectors of China and the U.S. in order to ensure the best use of resources and maximize the benefits to society as a whole. The second East-West Philanthropist Summit was held in Hawaii and the launch of the China Global Philanthropy Institute by Bill Gates and others in Beijing. Auxiliary enterprises provide conference facilities and dormitory housing for students and conference participants that participate in the Center's programs. 3521974 52545 655102 23739160 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 420 0 1 211 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 HI X X Ricky Kubota 8089447278 1601 East-West Road Honolulu HI 96848 Mr R Brian Tsujimura Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable David Ige Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable George Ariyoshi Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Kathy Bushkin Calvin Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Margaret Carpenter Vice Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Mong Joon Chung Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Tarun Das Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Daniel Fung Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Chris Kanter Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dr David Lassner Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Corianne W Lau Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Ginger Lew Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Marc Nathanson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Takeshi Niinami Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr William H Reeves Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable Evan Ryan Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable M Osman Siddique Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Barbara Tanabe Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Ratan Tata Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Richard Turbin Director 2 1 X 0 0 0 Dr Charles E Morrison President 40 2 X 209829 0 9936 Mr Ricky Kubota Treasurer 40 2 X 137319 0 5495 Mr Clinton Nonaka Asst Treasurer 40 0 X 115983 0 10445 Ms Carleen Gumapac Secretary 40 2 X 90712 0 10991 Dr Nancy Lewis Program Director 40 0 X 196241 0 11157 Dr Terance Bigalke Program Director 40 0 X 190102 0 5521 Dr Satu Limaye Program Director 40 0 X 172137 0 11795 Ms Carol Fox Program Director 40 0 X 199284 0 4768 Dr Allen Clark Researcher 40 0 X 161921 0 11099 Dr Jefferson Fox Researcher 40 0 X 159295 0 5339 Dr Timothy Brown Researcher 40 0 X 157535 0 4811 Ms Karen Knudsen Program Director 40 0 X 146404 0 482 Dr G Shabbir Cheema Researcher 40 0 X 146284 0 409 2083046 0 92248 24 0 1 0 Hawaiian Building Maintenance 1001 Bishop Street Suite 955 Honolulu HI 96813 Maintenance services 970655 University of Hawaii 2440 Campus Road Box 368 Honolulu HI 96822 Research, security, IT and library services 473441 Georgetown University Office of Sponsored Accounting 37th and O Street NW Washington DC 20057 Education services 268442 Ernst and Young Level 23 8 Exhibition Street 3000 Melbourne AS Consulting services 244308 Sasakawa Peace Foundation PO Box 2422 Addison TX 750012422 Office lease 239069 6 0 0 0 388741 16700000 1577044 0 18665785 Research, Education and Other Services 541900 9095296 9095296 0 0 Auxiliary Enterprises 721310 2785444 0 0 2785444 Conference Services 532000 116669 0 116669 0 Publications and Other 511130 21005 21005 0 0 0 0 0 0 12018414 371056 0 0 371056 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31055255 9116301 116669 3156500 0 0 4362757 4362757 185026 185026 0 0 699219 0 699219 0 0 0 0 0 11486304 9040081 2233349 212874 1545762 1129623 392373 23766 878438 698722 167870 11846 764363 585517 163002 15844 0 0 0 0 191284 189037 2247 0 58692 42164 16528 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 97145 0 97145 0 2695186 2337882 276133 81171 0 0 0 0 1473767 1085107 388660 0 131960 20764 111196 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1093968 950678 143290 0 0 0 0 0 47154 17193 29961 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1172326 842199 330127 0 222667 152993 69674 0 Cleaning & Maintenance Services 942551 605669 336882 0 Utilities 869545 383036 486509 0 Subcontracts 551916 551916 0 0 Repairs & Maintenance 402798 203396 199402 0 535148 355400 179748 0 30407976 23739160 6323315 345501 60546 31835 3848379 639860 1847792 1827889 83665 152140 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 463372 763564 34176633 21663797 12804285 12512836 16065045 19412552 0 0 0 0 0 0 1260560 847569 36433644 36188245 1324464 804364 0 0 988376 1592659 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1212703 1195676 3525543 3592699 X 30770564 30767107 2137537 1828439 0 0 32908101 32595546 36433644 36188245 647279 -959834 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 25345675 19019053 17529697 18381983 18665785 98942193 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25345675 19019053 17529697 18381983 18665785 98942193 0 98942193 68275 58435 30217 18780 371056 546763 0 0 0 0 0 0 277674 299210 284125 162194 116669 1139872 100628828 58696145 0.98324 0.98556 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Conference services revenues are included in other income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31160801 19031670 12129131 0 3015832 2632127 383705 0 0 0 0 12512836 0 Accrued Vacation 1113744 Due to East-West Center Foundation 60131 Other Liabilities 21801 1195676 X 29540952 -959834 0 0 0 -959834 30500786 0 554469 554469 31055255 30407976 0 0 0 0 0 30407976 0 0 0 30407976 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Center evaluates uncertain tax positions utilizing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial settlement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
