Remembering Dr. JoAnn Harris Bowlsbey
It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of Dr. JoAnn Harris Bowlsbey on April 2022 (in Japan time). Please allow me to call Dr. Bowlsbey “JoAnn” in this article, which is how we always called her. JoAnn died peacefully at the age of 89 at a hospital. For us, JoAnn will always be the mother of Career Development Advisor (CDA) certification and of career counseling in Japan.

Soonhoon decided to pursue this goal via NCDA (the National Career Development Association for the USA) because many internationals attend the NCDA Conference each year. At NCDA in 2010, several of us met with Dr. Tatsuno of JCDA and discussed where to incorporate APCDA.
