The OKTA Trade School Program is an annual event where 60-80 young Korean-Americans gather over a three-day period to learn about international trade. Typically, participants include college students, graduate school students, small business owners, and professionals in both the private and public sectors. The three days are jam-packed with lectures from leading Korean-American entrepreneurs, international trade experts, and notable Korean-American public figures; behind-the-scenes tours of companies; and group exercises geared toward marketing and team-building. Keynote speakers also share life stories of struggle and offer tips for success to inspire the next generation of Korean-American business leaders to make their own unique marks on the global economy. Most importantly, the program provides for exclusive networking opportunities with the older and newer generations of Korean-American visionaries.

Workshop attendees are given free lodging, meals, and educational materials, thanks to the generosity of sponsors like the Korean government and local Korean-American businesses. Since 2004, over 300 participants have graduated from the OKTA Trade School program.

KNA 100thAnniversary Commemoration

We cordially invite you for the 100th anniversary commemoration gala luncheon of the Korean National Association which will take place on Saturday, January 31 st,2009 at 12 P.M. at Wilshire Plaza Hotel, 3515 Wilshire Blvd., L.A., CA 90010 events of the Korean National Association.

The Korean National Association (KNA) founded in California in 1909, functioned as Korea’s first provisionary government during Japan’s aggression. As a birthplace of patriotism of overseas Koreans, KNA contributed significantly in a series of Korean people’s independent movements and served as the focal point of making history in the early 20thcentury in many important historical incidents from the March 1stindependence movement in 1919 to the restoration of national independence in 1945, and the establishment of the Republic of Korea in 1948.

From 1910 and on, KNA acted as Korea’s provisional government in order to promote Korean Americans’ interest and sovereign rights, while closely collaborating with the U.S. government to protect Korean American citizens. During the Korean War (1950-1953), KNA also provided aids and relief to the mainland Koreans who suffered from the massive destruction of the war.

In order to cherish and preserve Korea’s national spirit and KNA’s heritage, Korean American communities in the U.S. have reached consensus in 2003 to restore the KNA Memorial Hall, and the Hall has been operated since then.

In celebration of KNA’s 100thanniversary, it is our great pleasure to announce a series of commemoration events which will lead to the new era of KNA Memorial Hall as the center of future generation education of Korean national spirit and heritage. We would like to have your active participation.

Mike MyungkiHong, KNA Centennial Chairperson

Organized by Korean National Association Memorial Foundation (KNA Memorial Foundation)
