The Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options. As a national, public diplomacy institution, the Center works in partnership with more than 1,087 organizations throughout the United States (U.S.) and in the region. The collaborative research, education, seminars and outreach, and other programs bring together Americans and counterparts from Asia and the Pacific to work in an atmosphere of academic freedom on issues of mutual importance. The Center's exchange and dialogue programs involve multi-country, region-wide activities involving everyone as full participants. This past year featured major conferences in Manila and New Delhi, high profile events surrounding the landmark IUCN World Conservation Congress in Honolulu, as well President Obama's address to the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders summit at the Center. There were 4,075 participants from 97 countries and territories taking part in the Center activities throughout the region. While more information on the Center and its programs may be found at our website (www.EastWestCenter.org), the following is a highlight of the program activities during the year. SEMINARS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS: The Center has developed the most extensive program of trans-Pacific journalist and editor exchanges in the region, with exchanges for the Asia Pacific region as a whole (Jefferson Fellows). The Changing Faces women leadership seminar discusses and celebrates women's entrepreneurship. The Center also offers short-term policy seminars where senior and emerging leaders and business people from a variety of sectors focus on issues of regional concern. These programs are developed around a thematic focus and provides participants with an opportunity to strengthen their understanding of Asia Pacific-U.S. developments and challenges, build a regional network and to become leaders with a more international perspective. In September, some 350 international journalists and media professionals from more than 40 countries met in India's capital the EWC's 5th International Media Conference, on the theme of "South Asia Looking East" that included keynote speakers such as the Indian Foreign Secretary S. Jaishankar and Nobel Peace laureate Kailash Satyanrthi. East-West Center in Washington supports the Center's mission through direct work with U.S. policymakers and opinion leaders in the nation's capital. It facilitates understanding of the U.S. policy process by its Asia Pacific participants through direct interaction with U.S. policymakers. It also continues the successful Asia Matters for America/America Matters for Asia initiative to organize and disseminate information, data, and analysis on U.S.- Asia interactions. The Center also launched a new Congressional Staff Program on Asia to equip staffers with a greater knowledge of U.S. - Asia policy. Ten competitively selected staff members from both houses and political parties participated in the weekly seminar program. 6960456 2568037 3658797 EDUCATION PROGRAM: The Center is at the forefront of educating people of the Asia Pacific region to meet the evolving demands of global change. The Education Program focuses on community building at the campus level as a stepping-stone to community building at the regional level. The participant's experience is one of grassroots relationship building, cultural exchange, shared experiences, and communal preparation for future leadership roles throughout the region. The Program offers educational opportunities for future leaders in the Asia Pacific region and the U.S. in an era of increased social, economic and technological interdependence. Graduate degree scholarships and certificate programs prepare students and professionals to address the challenges and complexities of the world's most dynamic region. Undergraduate degree scholarships build and strengthen the base of future leaders in the South Pacific. The Program also provided professional development programs for educators to strengthen the capacity of individuals and institutions to cultivate in their students an appreciation and understanding of the histories, cultures, and contemporary issues of the Asia Pacific. The Program accomplishments include continued training of future leaders in the Southeast Asia Youth Leadership Program, Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP), and college and K-12 educators through the AsiaPacificEd Program and the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP). ASDP celebrated its 25th year of working to enhance undergraduate-level teaching about Asia at American colleges and universities. Since 1991, more than 2,300 educators from virtually every U.S. state and 26 foreign countries have participated in ASDP curriculum development workshops across the U.S. and abroad. Other continuing programs are the Pacific Islands Women in Leadership, Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) for Student Leaders on Global Environmental Issues, and the Brunei-U.S. English Language Enrichment Program for ASEAN aimed at raising the level of English language skills in the region. In FY 2016, 410 students from 51 countries and territories participated in the Center's undergraduate and graduate training and scholarship program that is unlike individual scholarship programs, since these students are instilled with a common learning experience centered on U.S.-Asia Pacific issues and community service. 6667871 617720 2651489 RESEARCH PROGRAM: The East-West Center's Research Program supports the Center's mission by engaging the research and policy communities in the Asia Pacific region on issues of shared concern. Researchers contribute expertise to broad and well-established networks of specialists and institutional partners, leading collaborative and interdisciplinary research on the evolving challenges of a dynamic region. They also provide insights and analysis to the Center's professional exchange, education, and public outreach programs, including its work with the media. The Pacific Regional Integrated Science and Assessment program continues to support integrated research across the social and physical sciences to expand the options of decision-makers including the Pacific community leaders cope with climate change and its impact to the region. The Research Program continues to undertake policy relevant activities, including a book launch at the United Nations on contemporary development thinking; a high-level academic workshop series on "mega-regional" trade and industry; an urban governance workshop in Surabaya, Indonesia; and continued legal monitoring and public education about the Khmer Rouge Tribunal in Cambodia. 3777033 169719 6075401 OTHER PROGRAMS:Other Programs include the Pacific Islands Development Program (PIDP), the China-US Strategic Philanthropy Partnership (CUSP) and Auxiliary enterprise services. PIDP is an enduring partnership between the Center and twenty-two island governments. It is the only program of its kind based in the United States, bringing together heads of government from an area that spans one-third of the globe. PIDP's role as a regional organization includes the five major activity areas: Secretariat for the Pacific Islands Conference Leaders, Secretariat for the United State/Pacific Island Nations Joint Commercial Commission, Research & Dialogue, Education & Training, and Pacific Island News. President Obama addressed the leaders at the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders summit, which is administered by the Center's PIDP, telling the leaders that new technologies and approaches mean that there doesn't have to be a conflict "between a healthy economy and a healthy planet." CUSP is a growing initiative to promote communication, exchange and collaboration between the philanthropic sectors of China and the U.S. in order to ensure the best use of resources and maximize the benefits to society as a whole. Auxiliary enterprises provide conference facilities and dormitory housing for students and conference participants that participate in the Center's programs. 3777033 169719 6075401 29152628 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 387 0 1 200 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 HI X X Ralph Carvalho 8089447504 1601 East-West Road Honolulu HI 96848 The Honorable David Ige Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable George R Ariyoshi Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Joan M Bickson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Kathy Calvin Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Margaret Carpenter Vice Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dr Mong Joon Chung Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Daniel R Fung SBS SC QC JP Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Peter S Ho Director 2 1 X 0 0 0 Mr Chris Kanter Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Rex KC Kim Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dr David K Lassner Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Ginger Lew Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable Ronald TY Moon Director 2 1 X 0 0 0 Mr Marc B Nathanson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Takeshi Niinami Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Theo Panagiotoulias Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr William H Reeves Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable Evan M Ryan Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 The Honorable M Osman Siddique Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Ms Barbara J Tanabe Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr Ratan N Tata Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mr R Brian Tsujimura Vice Chair 2 1 X 0 0 0 Mr Richard Turbin Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dr Charles E Morrison President 40 2 X 208195 0 40764 Mr Ricky Kubota Treasurer 40 2 X 140521 0 26735 Mr Clinton Nonaka Asst Treasurer 40 0 X 118282 0 30100 Mrs Carleen Gumapac Secretary 40 2 X 90835 0 25914 Ms Carol Fox Program Director 40 0 X 199637 0 34539 Ms Karen Knudsen Program Director 40 0 X 153437 0 22991 Dr Nancy Lewis Program Director 40 0 X 196901 0 41495 Dr Satu Limaye Program Director 40 0 X 174229 0 41062 Dr Allen Clark Researcher 40 0 X 164514 0 37254 Dr Timothy Brown Researcher 40 0 X 162247 0 29149 Dr Jefferson Fox Researcher 40 0 X 160799 0 30028 Mr Randall Tanaka IUCN Conference Director 40 0 X 159641 0 24018 Dr G Shabbir Cheema Researcher 40 0 X 150550 0 22573 2079788 0 406622 23 0 1 0 Hawaiian Building Maintenance 1001 Bishop Street Suite 955 Honolulu HI 96813 Maintenance services 740704 University of Hawaii 2440 Campus Road Box 368 Honolulu HI 96822 Research, security, IT and library services 428679 Georgetown University Office of Sponsored Accounting 37th and O Street NW Washington DC 20057 Education services 315826 Sasakawa Peace Foundation PO Box 2422 Addison TX 750012422 Office lease 247164 Carlsmith Ball LLP PO Box 656 Honolulu HI 96809 Legal services 191516 8 0 0 0 497557 16700000 1246219 0 18443776 Research, Education and Other Services 541900 14545272 14545272 0 0 Auxiliary Enterprises 721310 2527936 0 0 2527936 Conference Services 532000 158843 0 158843 0 Publications and Other 511130 22347 22347 0 0 0 0 0 0 17254398 295446 0 0 295446 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35993620 14567619 158843 2823382 0 0 4081595 4081595 265507 265507 0 0 717208 0 717208 0 0 0 0 0 11430906 9036774 2243913 150219 1585813 1164534 398872 22407 948023 754199 185042 8782 756432 586505 159183 10744 0 0 0 0 321338 312110 9228 0 67712 49125 18587 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 129653 0 129653 0 3129026 2873442 137186 118398 0 0 0 0 2129009 1798755 330254 0 113201 33818 79383 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2269362 2051108 218254 0 0 0 0 0 147849 108596 39253 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1214615 881203 333412 0 233375 172735 60640 0 Subcontracts 3413354 3413354 0 0 Cleaning & Maintenance Services 1209766 839760 370006 0 Utilities 773555 320946 452609 0 Repairs & Maintenance 270344 167991 102353 0 323258 240571 82687 0 35530901 29152628 6067723 310550 31835 83927 639860 1870595 1827889 3222555 152140 224604 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 763564 955339 34505069 22809721 12512836 11695348 19412552 20429908 0 0 0 0 0 0 847569 896750 36188245 39379026 804364 2497693 0 0 1592659 1315812 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1195676 1362140 3592699 5175645 X 30767107 31817540 1828439 2385841 0 0 32595546 34203381 36188245 39379026 462719 1145116 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 19019053 17529697 18381983 18665785 18443776 92040294 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19019053 17529697 18381983 18665785 18443776 92040294 92040294 58435 30217 18780 371056 295446 773934 0 0 0 0 0 0 299210 284125 162194 116669 158843 1021041 93835269 65593799 0.98087 0.98324 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Conference services revenues are included in other income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31303254 20094705 11208549 0 3201815 2715016 486799 0 0 0 0 11695348 Accrued Vacation 1213750 Due to East-West Center Foundation 132472 Other Liabilities 15918 1362140 X 38898993 1145116 0 0 0 1145116 37753877 0 -1760257 -1760257 35993620 35530901 0 0 0 0 0 35530901 0 0 0 35530901 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Center has not identified any uncertain tax positions in filed returns that require disclosure in the audited financial statements.
