The JALD website vividly conveys the program content and member spirit of the 2007 Japanese American Leadership Delegation to Japan.
The JALD website is a vibrant portal for communication between the two countries. It fulfills the Program's goals of strengthening US-Japan relations. It inspires increased interactions between citizens, organizations, businesses and political entities between the two countries.
It provides a place where JALD community can gather and support one another in their JALD-related initiatives.
The website is engaging, stimulating, adventurous and fun, attracting visitors of all ages and professions from both countries and other parts of the world. In particular it generates interest from Japanese Americans, especially children and youth.
Its style and content reflect the spirit and beauty, humor and humanity of both countries and their continual striving for integrity and excellence in all fields.
The JALD website is an inspirational model of how a committed endeavor can galvanize people to action and produce results beyond what is predictable. It is the foundation that launches new initiatives that fulfill goals and intentions of the Program and the personal commitments of its delegates far beyond expectation.

Delegate Robert Takagi's Bio
Robert Shigeyoshi Takagi
Sansei
My position as a general manager in the field of public transportation requires a hands on 24/7 work ethic. I take the responsibility for 800+ employees, 300 buses and providing 50,000,000 rides annually very seriously. I received my Masters of Arts degree twenty-five years post B.A. This was a very satisfying experience for me while working and raising a family.
Giving back to community is a belief I am proud of. Serving on several Boards and volunteering my time with several civic and social agencies is time worth spent.
My family's support is the pillar of my success. My three children know that when we take our family vacation together - we live it to the fullest. This may mean closing the amusement park at Ceder Point, Ohio at midnight and driving seven hours home with only enough money left for tolls and a coffee. Waking the children up at 3AM to catch and release a few Largemouth Bass in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and back home before noon to have lunch with my wife so we can spend the rest of day together. Watching my children's baseball games, volleyball games, basketball games, etc. is priceless. Yes- I have to wear my pager and cell phone to the games.
