at Shibuya Forum Eight

The JAOS Spring General Meeting was attended by 40 participants representing 44 member organizations (12 of which were present by proxy). The settlement of 2007 accounts as well as budget plans for fiscal 2008 were confirmed. Furthermore, each task team reported on their activities during the second half of 2007 and announced their plans for the first half of 2008. Of note was the progress report on the “JAOS Certified Counselor Training Course and Certification Test”, which stated that 212 participants took part in the course during the previous year, surpassing our original goal of attracting 200. Additional time was spent covering topics such as this coming December’s institutional reform of public service corporations.
