Don’t miss them!! \n\nJoining Forces on International Women’s Day 2023 to #EmbraceEquity\n  \nBLCCJ is proud to be marking International Women’s Day 2023 with this #EmbraceEquity event\, hosted in collaboration with the British (BCCJ)\, French (CCIFJ) and Spanish (SpCCJ) Chambers of Commerce in Japan.  \n  \nInternational Women’s Day (IWD) – celebrated annually on March 8 – is a global initiative that celebrates the social\, economic\, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity in\, among other places\, the public and private sectors. \n  \nThis year’s global theme is #EmbraceEquity. Equity might look different for every organisation\, depending on size and resources\, which is why this year we are teaming up with three other foreign chambers of commerce in Japan to hear from cross-industry leaders of very different backgrounds\, on what it truly means to embrace equity within their organisations\, and what processes they have in place to create the mindsets and practices needed to create an equitable workplace environment. \n  \nAs panelists we are pleased to invite Anne-Lin Rey\, Sales Project Director / Head of Osaka Expo 2025\, GL Events; Hiroko Suzuki\, President & CEO\, Kyowa Industrial Co; Junko Kubokawa\, CEO\, Croda Japan (and BCCJ DEI taskforce head); Natalia Sanz Laviña\, CEO\, YSLA Architects (10 years working with Kengo Kuma); and Tomoyo Hiraoka\, VP\, Chief HR Officer\, Mitsubishi Chemical Group. Moderator will be Regis Arnaud\, journalist and Editor in chief\, France Japon Eco. They will share their insights on the topic\, acknowledging the work already being done in organisations and communities to respond to workplace inequities\, and addressing what the key roles are for individuals\, corporates and governments in pushing the agenda forward and taking the strides needed to truly advance gender equity in the future. \n  \nEveryone is welcome!\nCan men attend this event? YES! Now\, more than ever\, there’s a groundswell to normalise gender parity. It is incumbent upon us all to make sure that\, working in tandem with member firms\, we lead the charge towards a more inclusive workplace that will benefit men and women alike. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS: \nDate: Wednesday 8 March 2023\nTime: 19:00-21:00 (doors open at 18:30)\n1 hour panel\, 1 hour networking\nVenue: L’espace @ CCIFJ\nNihonbashi Honcho Ys Bldg. 1F\, 2-2-2 Nihonbashi Honcho\, Chuo-ku\, Tokyo 103-0023\nFee: JPY 5\,000 members / JPY 7\,000 non-members\n(this includes drinks and finger food) \nSeats for BLCCJ are limited to 25\, first come first serve.\nTo register\, please send the full name\, company name and title of all your attendees to info@blccj.or.jp and we will send a confirmation email.\nDeadline for registration is Friday 3 March 5:00pm or when seats are full. \nWe kindly ask you to arrange payment by 3 March 5:00pm by bank transfer.

SUMMARY:BLCCJ Annual General Meeting 2022
DESCRIPTION:Dear BLCCJ members\, \nThe President and the Board of Directors of the BLCCJ are pleased to invite you to the Annual General Meeting\, which will be held as follows: \n  \nDate & Time: Wednesday 14 December 2022 from 6:30PM to 7:30PM \nVenue: Belgian Embassy in Japan\n5-4 Nibancho\, Chiyoda-ku\nTokyo 102-0084 \nThe agenda of the AGM will be as follows:\n• Activity report 2022 YTD\n• Closing of books 2022 YTD\n• Activity proposals 2023\n• Budget 2023 \n  \nLast year you agreed on the attached BLCCJ constitution revision which stipulates that the BLCCJ Board of Directors is elected every 2 years. This means that the mandate our Board of Directors received in December 2021 will continue for 1 more year. So there will be no directors’ election in 2022 (the next election will take place in December 2023). \nHowever\, since this annual meeting is mainly meant to inform our members in detail about what we have been doing this year and what we plan to do next year\, we very much want to request your presence. \n  \nAs usual\, we foresee a dinner after the AGM. We have booked at Aux Bacchanales Kioicho (JPY 8\,000 pp) from 7:45PM till 10PM.\nPlease kindly indicate your attendance or non-attendance to the dinner in the attached registration form. \n  \nAttachments are:\n• Convocation letter/registration form – please send them back by 8 December\n• Proxy nomination form\n• Current constitution (revised in 2021) \n  \nWe hope to see you at this year’s General Assembly! \n  \nThe BLCCJ office
