On 14th December, the IJCC held our second Women's Weekend Breakfast Activity. 

We invited female members of the IJCC to join us for a morning walk in Meijijingu followed by a lovely brunch buffet at We Are The Farm Shibuya. 

Over a delicious meal, IJCC Director Brietta O'Leary and Executive Manager Lily Wu met with members and their guests and had an open, casual discussion, sharing personal and professional experiences navigating society and the workplace. We were delighted to be joined by Director of the South African Chamber of Commerce Samukelisiwe Mthembu. Many thanks to Samu and all who joined. We are grateful to share our triumphs and struggles and everything in between. 

We would like to invite all IJCC female members and female friends of the IJCC to join us at our next event which will be held on St. Brigid’s Day 1st February 2025. 

The IJCC is committed to fostering an inclusive business community for all members. The aim of this event is to provide a space for female members of the IJCC to meet informally, network and exchange ideas. 

While the Breakfast Activity is focused on IJCC women's inclusion, the scope of the DEI Committee encompasses all levels of diversity. If you are interested in joining the IJCC DEI Committee, the next meeting will be held online on the 14th January (Tues) from 19:30 - 20:30 JST. Please get in touch at (secretariat [at] ijcc.jp) or reach out to Director Brietta O'Leary.
