The Mansfield Conference is an annual event that focuses on important themes of broad interest in the relations between the United States and Asia. It is rooted in the tradition of public education and service embodied in the career of Senator Mike Mansfield (1903-2001). As a university professor, Congressman, Senator, and Ambassador, U.S.-Asia relations were at the center of Mike Mansfield’s life work. The Retreat,is an opportunity for Conference participants to engage in candid, “off the record” discussions and explore ways of enhancing multilateral cooperation to address issues related to the global environment. Participants in past conferences have found these frank and friendly discussions at the Retreat particularly invaluable.
This year’s conference “Methuselah’s Challenge: Aging in Asia and America” will be held on September 23-25, 2009.
