Committees

We have various committees that help run and develop the Chamber. They are managed by a board member. However non board members are able to join some of the Committees if they are a member of the Chamber. We are always welcoming new members who wish to volunteer their time and skills.

Please contact us if you would like to contribute. Either contact the committee manager directly or contact the Secretariat (secretariat@ijcc.jp).
