Dear Graduates of the U.S. Service Academies,

You are cordially invited to the inaugural West Point All-Academies
Asia Summit (WPAAAS), which will be held in Singapore this June
25-26, 2015, at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel
(http://www.marinabaysands.com/index.html
<http://www.marinabaysands.com/index.html>).  WPAAAS will be the
first-ever gathering in Asia for graduates of all U.S. Service
Academies, and is supported by the alumni associations of USMA,
USAFA, USMMA and USCGA.  If you are interested in understanding why
the world's attention is "pivoting" to Asia, home to nearly half of
the world's population, you should attend this event.

The inaugural Summit theme is "Fellowship, Futures, Fortunes and
Fidelity".  It will be a premier opportunity for interactions and
collaboration involving hundreds of senior leaders from the
government, business, military and NGO/nonprofit sectors.  We're
especially excited about holding the Summit in Singapore on the
momentous occasion of Singapore's 50th Year of Independence and would
like to use this occasion to recognize and honor all Singaporean
graduates of the U.S. service academies.

WPAAAS will provide a timely and robust senior leader gathering
through its combination of networking opportunities, relevant
discussions, collaboration possibilities and actionable
learning.  The purpose is fourfold:

Fellowship -- connecting and developing professional relationships
amongst graduates

Futures -- learning about Asia today and expected geopolitical
developments in the future

Fortunes -- understanding the business and economic opportunities in
Asia with a particular emphasis on Singapore and Southeast Asia

Fidelity -- identifying ways that graduates can actively participate
in and contribute to the future of Asia, and society in general,
throughout their lives

Leaders who have confirmed their participation thus far include the following:

Mr. Fidel Ramos (USMA '50), the 12th President of the Philippines
The Honorable Krik Wagar, US Ambassador to Singapore
General Vincent Brooks (USMA '80), Commander, U.S. Army Pacific
