Nancy Matsui in 2018<\/p>\n
The Japanese American National Museum (JANM) mourns the passing of Nancy Matsui, a member of the JANM Board of Governors.<\/p>\n
After celebrating 40 years of service with American Airlines, she retired from her position as the national account sales manager, where she was responsible for global marketing and community representation on behalf of American Airlines.<\/p>\n
She also worked as an adjunct instructor at Cypress College, where she taught travel sales and marketing. She was the 2021 Cypress College Alumna of the Year and was the first Asian woman to receive that award.<\/p>\n
She has also served on the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center Board of Governors for over 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe mourn her passing but celebrate her life,\u201d said William T. Fujioka, chair of the JANM Board of Trustees. \u201cNancy was strongly committed to our community and the Japanese American National Museum. She was and will always be a highly respected member of the JANM family. Nancy was an exceptional supporter and advocate for our mission, programs, and services. May she rest in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
