The quartet co-chaired the March 12 event that drew more than 700 guests and honored longtime Asia Society supporters Lily and Charles Foster. The Asia Society is the leading educational organization promoting mutual understanding and strengthening partnerships among the people, leaders and institutions of Asia and the United States. The Asia Society Texas Center executes the global mission with a local focus, enriching and engaging the diversity of Houston through programs in arts and culture, business and policy, education, and community outreach.
