CONCORD AMBASSADORS Supporting the Sister City relationship between  Kitakami, Japan and Concord, California
The 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 35 years there has been a steady flow of visitors between the two cities enjoying the opportunity for "home stay" visits and culture exchange. see our October 2009 Japan Tour and 35th Sister City Anniversary Visit our Trip Web Page Here Links City of Concord, California site City of Concord Sister City site Kitakami City site (English) Kitakami City site (Japanese) Let's Sharing - Living in Kitakami Blog Kitakami Photoblog	HISTORY The Concord Ambassadors was founded in October 1974 as a result of two cable TV executives meeting at a conference and becoming friends.
