seth josolowitz

Executive Director


We are delighted to have Seth join the Japan America Society of Central Ohio as the new Executive Director.

 
A Columbus native, Seth first became interested in Japan after volunteering to show around a group of visiting Japanese exchange students. This inspired him to spend a year in Japan as an exchange student himself before eventually earning his BA from Waseda University in Tokyo. Before joining JASCO, Seth worked for nearly a decade as a political consultant, collaborating closely with elected officials and community groups.
