On April 6, members of the Japan-America Society of Houston (JASH) Board of Directors gathered to bid farewell to Vice President Yuzuru Nagawa.
JASH has had the good fortune of working with Nagawa-san since he arrived in 2015 to launch All Nippon Airways’ direct flight between Houston to Tokyo.
Over his eight (8) years in Houston, Nagawa-san has tirelessly given of his time and resources to help raise the profile of Japan-America Society of Houston. Nagawa-san’s many contributions include representing JASH in the community, facilitating cooperation with key Japanese business leaders, and championing Japan Festival. His commitment to the strengthening of U.S.-Japan ties also extended to our sister organizations in Austin, Alabama and Georgia.
JASH is grateful for Nagawa-san’s wise counsel, warm-hearted teamwork and profound dedication to the JASH mission.
In recognition of Nagawa-san’s friendship and support, JASH President Laird Doran presented Nagawa-san with a Texas flag that was flown over the State Capitol in his honor on March 31, 2023.
While Nagawa-san’s active leadership as a judicious steward of our organization will sincerely be missed, JASH wishes him all the best in his next role. 日本でご活躍をお祈りしております。

Happy trails to you until we meet again!
