All Society members are invited to attend the Society’s Annual Meeting and Reception and to meet and mingle with other Society members.

After a short formal meeting to elect new members of the Board of Directors, and a report from the President of the Society on the activities during the past year, we will have a short presentation followed by a wine and buffet reception.

This year we are honored to welcome the new Director of the Asian Art Museum, Dr. Soyoung Lee, who will speak about her vision for the future of the museum. Members will also have a chance to say farewell to the outgoing Director, Dr. Jay Xu, and honor him for his 17 years of service to the museum.

Email invitations will be sent to all members in good standing by April 29, 2025. Please kindly RSVP to the invitation.
