CONCORD AMBASSADORS

Supporting the Sister City relationship between 

Kitakami, Japan and Concord, California

 

Concord Ambassadors is an all-volunteer organization which maintains the sister city relationship between Kitakami, Japan and Concord, California. 

We're dedicated to promoting mutual exchanges in the fields of education, culture, social affairs and economics. We encourage personal and business relationships between both individuals and groups. 

For over 30 years there has been a steady flow of visitors between the two cities enjoying the opportunity for "home stay" visits and culture exchange.

HISTORY

 

The Concord Ambassadors was founded in October 1974 as a result of two cable TV executives meeting at a conference and becoming friends. Court Kirkeeng of Concord and Dr. Zenji Katagata of Kitakami persuaded their city leaders to approve the relationship and enlisted the help of other citizens to make the partnership work.
