The East-West center was created by Congress in 1960, and is meant to serve as a hub for sharing information regarding critical issues, exchanging ideas, building expertise, and developing policy. The EWC is an independent not-for-profit organization based in the United States, and headquartered in Honolulu with a 21 acre campus adjacent to the University of Hawaii. The campus has built an international network of 57,000 alumni and 750 partners.
The East-West Center has been a long time client of Top Shelf Design. TSD has worked with them on a number of reports in the past, but most recently their report emphasizing why ASEAN Matters for America. This time, EWC approached Top Shelf looking for a colorful and engaging report that could be easily accessible and understood by their audience in the United States and worldwide.
