Corporate Program<br />
The Corporate Program hosts unique public and private programs and<br />
networking opportunities for the international business and policy community<br />
on the people and issues that define U.S.-<strong>Japan</strong> relations in a global context.<br />
We were honored to host Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn, who discussed<br />
how to drive change through a myriad of business challenges and not<br />
only survive but thrive. Other highlights of 2011–12 include a lecture by<br />
Navy Admiral Patrick M. Walsh on Operation Tomodachi, a talk by S&P<br />
President Douglas Peterson on challenges and opportunities for credit<br />
rating agencies, a speech by His Excellency Mr. Tsuneo Nishida on<br />
<strong>Japan</strong> and the United Nations, and a panel discussion on recovery<br />
and resilience in <strong>Japan</strong> after the March 11 earthquake.<br />
