The Association

The San Francisco-Osaka City Association helps build bridges of friendship and commerce between these two vital centers of culture and finances.

Its programs support individual and civic exchanges that foster better understanding and appreciation between citizens on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

The Association was founded in 1957 under the leadership of Mayor George Christopher, and it is San Francisco's oldest sister city relationship. The Association will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2007.

The Association is administered by an Executive Committee. Board members and the administrative staff all volunteer their time and resources.
