ASPEN continues to expand, where it held its first event in Okinawa on 1 June, 2025. A small group of American and Japanese members met up for a casual dinner discussion to welcome new Okinawa-based members and re-connect. It was a great evening at the Chatan Gyu-Kaku filled with camaraderie and delicious food. The team is already planning their next Okinawa-based ASPEN event which will capitalize on the energy sustained from this event and the upcoming Kobe conference.
