After a few years of interim directors following Ikeda’s retirement in 1986, David Okimoto takes over as the center’s second Asian American Executive Director. One of his major contributions to the Center is to shift the treatment model towards asset development—In other words, offering services before the problems they address even arise, by becoming a more active presence in the community. This is an approach still employed at ASC at our Family Resource Center and in our involvement with local schools and community centers.
