Jay Kim ROK-U.S. Institute

For almost two decades, the Jay Kim ROK-US Institute has been an important voice in the relationship between the United States and the Republic of Korea. This institute brings decision-makers and leaders from both countries together for an open, thoughtful, and productive dialogue on politics, regional security, and economic ties between the two countries. The institute is led by former Member of Congress Jay Kim, who, as a Republican from California, was the first Korean-American elected to Congress. In addition, Jennifer Ahn, Representative Kim’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the institute, based on her many years working for and with Fortune 500 companies from both countries.
