Canadian Embassy in Tokyo
The Spring General Meeting was attended 28 individuals representing 33 member organizations (8 of which were present by proxy). 1 new member organization and one supporting member organization were admitted into JAOS. Each task team reported on their activities and plans, which were actively discussed by those in attendance. The research and training task team reported on its current plans to open a certified course for study abroad professionals. Furthermore, due to current difficulties in carrying out diverse activities, JAOS made a decision to open an actual physical office in the near future.
