Armacost, Distinguished Fellow, Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC), Stanford University, and a former U.S. Ambassador to Japan and the Philippines; Evans J.R. Revere, President, The Korea Society; Professor Gi-Wook Shin, Director, APARC; Daniel C. Sneider, Associate Director for Research, APARC; David Straub, Pantech Fellow, APARC; and Evans J.R. Revere, President of the Korea Society.
