November 27, 2009
at Shinjuku Hello Conference Room in Tokyo
45 participants, representing 41 JAOS member organizations (7 of which were present by proxy) attended the 2009 JAOS Spring General Meeting. Each task team reported on their activities during the second half of 2009 and announced their plans for the first 6 months of 2010. Moreover, an application status report was given regarding the JAOS Overseas Study Scholarships for Outbound High School Students (funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology). In addition, the outcome report regarding the number of training participants by FELCA on a world-scale, as well as the FELCA Accreditation Code, were formally endorsed. On top of all of this, a progress report was given on the JAOS-driven Global Japan Initiative Project. One new supporting member organization was approved at the meeting. Based on our ‘buddy system’, this organization is in line to be confirmed as a full member after completing a 3-month probationary period.
