      This year, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of AAJA's Asia chapter — a milestone that calls for both reflection and a forward-looking conversation.

      In the first half of this special session, we have invited former AAJA-Asia presidents to look back on their journey: why they joined AAJA in the first place, what role the association has played in their careers, what sets AAJA apart from other journalism networks, and a defining memory from their time leading the chapter.

      In the second half, AAJA leaders will share their vision for the future — how they are navigating the industry's challenges within their own organizations, and what a community like AAJA can and should do to better support journalists: helping them stay relevant, grow their careers, and weather an increasingly turbulent profession.
