This week the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies bid aloha to retired Rear Admiral Pete Gumataotao after six years as the Center’s director. A native of Guam, he joined the Center in 2018 after 37 years of active duty service, including eight years as a U.S. Navy flag officer, when he held three command positions: Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Korea; Commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 11 (Nimitz Strike Group); and Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic. Other Flag Officer assignments: assistant deputy chief of Naval Operation for Operations, Plans and Strategy (N3/N5B) and deputy chief of staff, Strategic Plans and Policy, Supreme Allied Command Transformation. “As my tenure as the Director of the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies comes to an end, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the years,” said Gumataotao in a recent message to the Center’s alumni and staff. “My respect for the security professionals in this region has grown immensely. Working together with mutual respect and inclusion and striving to do our best, no doubt many of you achieved significant milestones that have made the region more secure, stable, and prosperous. Through the years, DKI APCSS has turned out over 15,000 alumni, adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, expanded the use of online courses, alumni reunions, and webinars. This led to the development of the Security Nexus program, an online journal featuring interviews and the writings of our faculty and alumni. Deputy Director Russell Bailey  will serve as acting director of the Center until a new director is formally announced. Dr. Lori Forman, currently the DKI APCSS Development Advisor, will be acting deputy director during this transition. Full story at: https://lnkd.in/gVQX6mY7
