Welcome to JASA!

the japan-America society of Alabama

The Japan-America Society of Alabama (JASA) is a private, nonprofit association in our third decade of encouraging and developing friendship and understanding between individuals who embrace the business, culture, and education of Japan and the United States.

Through programs responsive to social, economic, and political needs, Alabamians are afforded the opportunity to examine and learn from experiences and achievements of both nations. Join us as we promote and cultivate these enriching international relationships.

JASA welcomes members from all business organizations and individuals that have an interest in expanding U.S. business ventures in Japan or wish to promote a congenial climate for Japanese business in Alabama.
