Announcement               

Dear EP mentors, members, volunteers and friends,

It is with pride, honor and excitement that I announce that Mr. STEWART BALLARD, an outstanding Hopkins graduate, now the Chief Commercial Consul of the Consulate General of the United States of America in Hong Kong, has kindly agreed to become EP's Honorary Sponsor.

Mr. Ballard's biography:

During his 17 years with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Mr. Stewart Ballard has helped U.S. exporters succeed in winning new business in India, Kuwait, the 15 Member States of the European Union and, most recently, in 35 Asia Pacific developing countries that are members of the Asian Development Bank. Stewart has worked especially closely with U.S. firms in the following sectors: high technology and professional business advisory services (India); energy (Kuwait); and environment, energy, transportation and healthcare (European Union & Asian Development Bank countries). During his assignment in Hong Kong from 2004 to 2008, Stewart will work with U.S.-based firms to help them take advantage of new business opportunities in Hong Kong, China and other Asian Pacific countries.

Stewart has received both the Bronze Medal and the Quarterly Star award from the International Trade Administration. His employment background includes eight years of private sector experience in intellectual property law; international banking; international freight forwarding; and import-export. His educational background includes a B.A. in Political Science (with honors) from the University of California at Berkeley; an M.A. in International Studies from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS); and a J.D. from Tulane University. His educational background abroad includes graduate work at SAIS’ Bologna Center in Bologna, Italy; and graduate work (in French) on European Union law at the University of Nancy II in Nancy, France. Stewart has French, Italian and Mandarin Chinese language skills. He is a member of the District of Columbia Bar.

Mr. Ballard's involvement with EP is a recognition of the EP initiative and all the hard work of EP members, volunteers and chapter founder(s)/promoters.  I hope this good news will prompt the establishment of more EP chapters.

Thank you all for your valuable contribution to the EP initiative.

Carmen Kut
Founder & President,
Educational Perspectives,
