MORE THAN 60 SPECIAL INTEREST COMMITTEES & SUBCOMMITTEES

Committees and subcommittees are the lifeblood of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ). Committees meet on a regular basis and drive Chamber activities, including events, advocacy documents, and information sharing. Subcommittees are further specialized groups, often related to one part of an industry, that operate under a parent industry committee. Collectively they represent a wide range of interests and industries in Japan.

Each year the committees and subcommittees organize about 500 events, lectures, and seminars featuring global business leaders, government officials, and Japan specialists. These events provide members with unique and dynamic perspectives on business and industry in Japan, as well as a forum for networking among international executives.

Committees also drive the ACCJ's advocacy work. Policy focused committees at the Chamber develop position papers on various issues key to furthering commerce between the U.S. and Japan, ensuring that policy makers and interested stakeholders have practical recommendations from those doing business on the ground in Japan.
