Mr. Janes is the Director of Foundation Grants and Assistant to the President at the United States-Japan Foundation, where he leads the Foundation’s grant-making programs and represents the Foundation to potential and current grantees. Mr. Janes is a long time ally and supporter of Creative Connections, and could not be a more fitting honoree for this prestigious award.
