HONOLULU — Twenty-two participants in

JAIMS was honored to have Jackie Ingamells,

and offer her words of advice for success. Dr. Glenn Miyataki, president
of JAIMS, bid the ICMP's a fond aloha as he congratulated them for
their inspiring effort throughout the term.
"This being the best ICMP class so far, I am
proud to have all of you as the banner for JAIMS as you go out into
your home countries and abroad," Miyataki said.
Participants were presented with certificates
for completing four months of intense studies on U.S. business principles
and cross-cultural sensitivity. Awards were also presented to those
participants who excelled in the final week of presentations.
First place for the President's Business Plan
Award went to the team of Rachanee Jirathawonkul, Yoshitaka Kataoka,
Rowena Maravilla, and Juliana Sjaiful for their presentation on
Paradise Ice Cream. Second place went to Dwaipayan Bora and third

their careers, others will continue with JAIMS in the Business Exchange
