Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is a group of 5-15 current SpCCJ corporate members, elected by other members to address pressing issues and strategies on how to ensure that the organization is operating in the best interest of its stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, employees, and the community.

The Board of Directors decide the purpose and the overall direction of the SpCCJ, and puts in place the strategy for achieving the goals set out for the year. Key responsibilities of the board, in combination with the SpCCJ’s Executive Director, include:

• Setting suitable organisational aims and objectives;
• Setting a budget which allows the SpCCJ to fulfil its purpose;
• Agreeing on policies, targets and priorities;
• Monitoring and reviewing the performance of the SpCCJ and the Secretariat.

Each board member will elect to join one of 6 working groups, all of which the SpCCJ has identified as crucial for the future sustainable growth of business in Japan. The working groups help define themes, content and events of interest to the Chamber and support membership growth.
