IN MEMORIUM
"The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan joins our two nations today in honoring the victims of the Tohoku earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. Ten years on, 3/11 remains both a tragic memory and a vivid reminder of the incredible resilience and resolve of the Japanese people. The ACCJ is proud not just of the role member companies played in supporting the people of Tohoku and helping to rebuild the communities impacted, but of our continued commitment to driving social wellbeing and economic recovery, growth, and prosperity in Japan."
- Jenifer Rogers, ACCJ President
“The true character of the membership of The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan - honor, integrity, courage and compassion - will guide us, as it has for the past 65 years.”
- March 15, 2011 - Michael Alfant, ACCJ President 2011-2012
“Immediately after the Tohoku disaster, the American community at large came together to create the Tohoku Disaster Relief Fund. Individuals and corporations were extremely generous, and donating to important causes—big and small—was done with speed but thoughtfully. I was proud to be a part of this community and the ACCJ in a time of such great need.”
— Kumi Sato, ACCJ Chairman Emeritus
