Tokyo, November 14, 2008 - Andrew Klaber (JD/MBA '10) has been selected as one of 160 emerging leaders from 30 countries in the Asia-Pacific region who will gather at the Four Seasons Hotel in Tokyo for the Asia Society's Third Annual Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit.
Chosen from among nearly a thousand nominees, Klaber will join leaders from diverse backgrounds and expertise such as business, government, academia, media, civil society, and the arts to explore the most challenging issues facing the region and to develop new collaborative proposals for how these challenges can addressed at a time both of global economic uncertainty and reorientation of the international political order toward the East.
The Summit is part of the larger Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative - the pre-eminent gathering of Asia's most dynamic young leaders from the Asia-Pacific region. At the Summit, young leaders will explore possibilities for using values-based leadership to develop equitable and sustainable solutions to shared challenges posed to the Asia-Pacific community. Discussions will center on the global financial crisis and the increasing scarcity of vital resources. Delegates will also develop proposals for group public service projects. In addition to a keynote speech, break-out sessions, group discussions, and a debate, the Summit will feature lively cultural performances.
Klaber is the President of Orphans Against AIDS (www.orphansagainstaids.org) , a non-profit organization that provides more than 500 AIDS orphans with academic scholarships and basic healthcare throughout seven Asian and African countries. For his dedication to aiding youths affected by the epidemic, he was invited to speak at the 2008 World Economic Forum and named a Goldman Sachs Global Leader, a Marshall Scholar, and a Truman Scholar. Orphans Against AIDS has been featured in The New York Times, USA-Today, and The Washington Post among other publications.
"The young leaders meeting in Tokyo this week represent the future of the Asia-Pacific community," says Asia Society Executive Vice President Jamie Metzl, who spearheads the Asia 21 Initiative. "These leaders will need to know each other, share ideas, and learn to work together to make this Asia-Pacific century as peaceful, prosperous, just, sustainable and secure as it can be. We at the Asia Society are proud to be working with our many partners around the region and the young leaders themselves to help collectively build a better future for the region."
