It was an honor to welcome back Mr. Fugii, KAAP’s first President, during his visit this week. Hearing his stories and reflections on KAAP’s early days was a special experience, and it was especially meaningful to see him reconnect with employees who were here during his time as President. Thank you, Mr. Fugii, for visiting and for helping lay the foundation of what KAAP is today.
