Subject: Fwd: [ADFS] Save the date: Inaugural program of theAmbassadors Lecture
Series
~~ Save the Date ~~
The Library of Congress Asian Division and its Friends Society (ADFS) cordially
invite you to the inaugural program of the Ambassadors Lecture Series on
Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 5:30pm-7:00pm, with a reception to follow, at the
Library of Congress.
THEME: The theme for the first event is International Commerce and Cross-Border
Economic Development.
FORMAT: This program will involve the Ambassador of Singapore to the U.S., the
Honorable Chan Heng Chee, who will interact with a panel composed of other
Asian nations' ambassadors to the U.S. Also invited is the Honorable Gary
Locke, Secretary of Commerce.
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Ambassadors Lecture Series is to focus attention on
bringing broader awareness of the Library's comprehensive collections,
exceptional services, and global expertise to the Asian diplomatic, commercial,
and research communities. It is our goal to open the lines of communication on
important matters affecting the US and Asian region relationship.
AUDIENCE: The topics that will be addressed will attract individuals and groups
who ordinarily might not come to the Library. This program welcomes
participation from members of Congress, the US government, the private sector,
think-tanks, NGOs, academia, and others in the DC community.
REGISTRATION: The program is free and open to the public. However, due to
limited space, pre-registration is required. Registration and other details
will be forthcoming.
MEMBERSHIP SUPPORT: ADFS seeks your contributions and support. For more
information, visit www.lcasianfriends.org or contact Dr. Anchi Hoh, Chief
Executive Director, at adia@loc.gov or 202-707-5673.
The Asian Division Friends Society (ADFS) assists the Asian Division to make
its comprehensive collections available for use by the broadest possible
audiences-locally, nationally, and internationally. ADFS promotes the Asian
Division through its outreach and sponsored programs and advances the services
of the Asian Division through community programs that augment the Library's
Asian collections and the recently established Asian American Pacific Islander
archive.
