2nd Annual Jade Circle Gala Held in Denver (October 10, 2026)

On October 10, the 2nd Annual Jade Circle Gala, hosted by the Asian Leadership Foundation, was held in Denver. Consul-General Hiroyuki Okajima and Consul Sanae Kanno attended the event from our Consulate.

The Gala is a significant charity event that brings together leaders from business, government, and the community to celebrate the culture and leadership of the AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander) community, while raising critical support for next-generation leadership development and scholarship programs.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston also attended and delivered warm remarks praising the diverse and invaluable contributions of the AANHPI community to the region.

We would like to express our sincere respect and gratitude to the Asian Leadership Foundation, and especially to its president, Ms. Mary Nguyen, for their outstanding leadership in bringing this wonderful event to fruition.

The Consulate-General of Japan in Denver remains committed to working hand-in-hand with the AANHPI community to foster multicultural coexistence and contribute to the further development of our local community.
