The Korea Society turned 50 in 2007, and the year was an eventful one, as we celebrated our anniversary by hosting a series of high-profile guest speakers, important conferences and galas. As the year drew to a close, The Korea Society threw a special year-end party to thank all those who had made 2007 such a success.

Over 250 guests attended the party, at The Korea Society’s offices in New York, meeting and mingling over drinks, Korean food and live jazz. Drawing a mixed crowd of members and those who were visiting The Korea Society for the first time, the reception provided an excellent forum for guests to network and to meet old friends and make new ones. It also offered those who haven’t recently been to The Korea Society a chance to see our newly expanded and renovated space, including our new gallery.

As the party got underway, Ambassador Donald P. Gregg, chairman of The Korea Society, greeted the guests and thanked all those who had supported The Korea Society and its mission.

Following Ambassador Gregg’s remarks, Evans J.R. Revere, president and CEO of The Korea Society, described the numerous changes that The Korea Society had undergone during its anniversary year, highlighted key initiatives for the coming year, and urged all those who weren’t yet members of The Korea Society to join as The Korea Society prepared for an even more exciting and successful year in 2008.
