On Wednesday, we were honored to host the second annual Spirit of the Alliance Dinner at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra coinciding with the 84th anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea.

In an unlikely selfie emblematic of the convening power of the evening: Admiral Samuel Paparo, Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; our Association President, the Hon Steven Marshall AO; and Kazuhiro SUZUKI, Japan’s Ambassador to Australia.   We were privileged to be joined by our Patron of Australian Veterans, Air Marshal Stephen Chappell DSC CSC OAM, Chief of Air Force, and our Patron of American Veterans, Erika Olson, Chargé d’Affaires at Their presence and leadership made the evening all the more meaningful.

The evening was also shaped by the voices of our veteran scholars, Megan Brown & Joe West, whose stories reminded every person in the room exactly why this work matters.

The night was brought to life by the extraordinary John Schumann AM and the Vagabond Crew, one of Australia’s most beloved songwriters and a tireless champion of the veteran community. .schumann.90

None of it would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you to our Reception Sponsor and our Presenting Sponsors and whose commitment to this Alliance and to our veterans is unwavering.

Funds raised on the night go towards our Veterans’ Fund, which has awarded AU $4.5 million to 79 American and Australian veterans pursuing postgraduate study in each other’s countries since 2017. It is one of the most tangible expressions of what this Alliance stands for.

With the first-ever NFL regular season game in Australia set for the MCG this September, leaders from across sport, business, and investment gathered at The Murdoch Center to explore what this moment means for Victoria and the broader Australia–U.S. relationship.

Congratulations and thank you to The Honourable Dr Kevin Rudd AC on his outstanding service as Australia’s Ambassador to the United States.

As he concludes his term today, we want to recognise the significant contribution he has made over the past three years.

A former Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin has brought enormous intellect, energy and discipline to the role. He has been a highly effective, hardworking and widely respected Ambassador during a period of global complexity, helping to further strengthen the Australia–United States relationship at a critical time.

At the American Australian Association, we have thoroughly valued our partnership with the Australian Embassy throughout his tenure. Together, we have collaborated on a wide range of events and initiatives across his term — all underpinned by a shared commitment to deepening ties between our two countries.

It has been a genuine pleasure to work with Kevin and his team.

We wish him every success in his next chapter as he takes on a leadership role with Asia Society here in New York. We look forward to continuing to engage with him in this new capacity.
