We were proud to welcome Japanese delegates participating in the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) program, hosted by State Representative Representative Jo Ella Hoye.

During their visit to Kansas, the group joined us for a window tour and presentation, getting a closer look at our facility and the work happening here.

The visit provided a great opportunity to share perspectives, highlight Kansas leadership, and strengthen the connection between Kansas and Japan while showcasing the impact of global investment at the local level.
