However, the larger question is how to make strategic decisions and take the necessary actions to address the pandemic. To help us find answers, the Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth is pleased to welcome two Japan-based specialists, who will share their insights and how policies implemented now will significantly impact preparations for next year’s Olympic Games. Dylan Scudder and David Wagner each have decades of experience working in Japan and they recently presented online programs with the Japan America Society of Colorado and the Japan-America Society of Georgia.
