FCCJ "Speak Out"

The Election Committee will host a "Speak Out" where members can personally take the measure of the Regular, Associate and Professional Associate candidates who are standing this year for election as FCCJ Board members and officers.
All confirmed candidates who wish a public forum to speak to FCCJ members on that evening should register at gmm202007@fccj.tokyo by noon, Tuesday, July 7.
The Speak Out will occur Tuesday, July 7, starting at 6:30 p.m. In line with tradition, the event will be catered. We'll serve Cutlet or Shrimp curry & rice, with tea or coffee, for 1,000 yen (tax included). And there's nothing to stop candidates from ordering non-caffeinated drinks from the bar to calm their nerves and smooth out their deliveries.
Non-candidates, please book your reservations at the front desk (tel. 03-3211-3161) no later than noon on the day, Tuesday, July 7, and submit your meal orders.
