At our PRBP 30th Anniversary Banquet in Taipei, Wachovia Bank generously donated $25,000 to the Kermit O. Hanson Scholarship Fund. The presentation was made by Mr. Wayne W.M. Chou, Managing Director for Wachovia Bank. This donation officially kicks-off the PRBP fund drive to raise $200,000 to establish a Scholarship Fund named after the founder of PRBP, Dr. Kermit O. Hanson. Once the goal has been met, annual scholarships will be given out to deserving applicants to PRBP in need of financial support. If you would like any additional information on this Endowment Fund, please contact Jennifer Lang at jclang@u.washington.edu.

“Pacific Rim Bankers Program provided me with an invaluable opportunity to work with prominent faculty and colleagues in the financial services industries from different countries. I gained informative insights into banking industry issues and challenges from the formal sessions, from the group assignments and from the informal exchanges and contacts with faculty and other participants. These networks and knowledge continue to influence my work in Bank Indonesia and the development of banking regulation and supervision in Indonesia --if I attended this program again, I am sure that I would learn new things as financial industries evolve rapidly” - Siti Fadjrijah


Jean Choy (Executive Director) and Jennifer Lang (Associate Director) of Executive Education, traveled to Asia this March and had the opportunity to tour several countries including: Taipei, Taiwan; Hong Kong; Jakarta, Indonesia; Seoul, Korea; Beijing, China; Manila, Philippines; Singapore; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and Tokyo, Japan.

The main purpose of this annual trip is to promote and recruit for PRBP, to strengthen PRBP alumni relations, and to develop new, and strengthen existing Executive Education partnerships. Highlights of the trip included: numerous visits with various banks in Asia to discuss the value of PRBP, breakfast with PRBP prospects and alums in Manila; lunch with PRBP alums in Singapore; a PRBP Cocktail Reception in Jakarta with many alumni in attendance who discussed their support of the program. Some great connections were made and everyone was as helpful as they could be in every respect.

Special thanks to: Joan Hung, Karen Hung, John Hills, Roosniati Salihin, Gunawan Santoso, Ignatius Choong, David Li, San Srinivasan, Jim Ho, and Francis Albalate for all of their assistance during the Asia trip!
