To all distinguished guests and
fellow Council members & friends
It is with a great deal of pleasure that we of the
JABC accept the award for Small
or Emerging Chamber 2007.
Many on our Council and amongst our members have abiding
connections with Japan - and as would be expected -
many of those relationships go back a very long time
indeed.
Our Council has had an interesting history.and I thank
all of those people who have played a part in the initial
establishment of the JABC - .but it is to our current
Committee and members that I wish to pay tribute.
I thank each and every one of them for their commitment,
dedication, time, energy and passion - to work collaboratively
to re-establish our Chamber.
I wish you to note as well that our Committee consists
of a lot of young, dedicated members and I hope that
by encouraging them to lead and contribute - our Council
will be at the forefront of Chamber activity for many
years to come.
Thank you very much indeed.
Dr. Helen Paige
Chairperson
