Greetings from the President

We sincerely appreciate your continued understanding and support for the activities of the Junior Chamber International Fukuyama.

Since our founding in 1960, we at the Junior Chamber International Fukuyama have worked alongside our community members on various initiatives, striving to build a better town.

Change that improves our town and society is never driven solely by a select few.

We believe that when each person thinks, “I want to do this,” or “It would be great if this happened,” and takes action, those small steps eventually spread to those around them, becoming a powerful force that moves the city.

However, that first step is not something completed alone. By sharing your thoughts with someone, thinking together with your peers, and supporting each other as you move forward, those thoughts grow into something more solid.

Action that begins with “me” connects to the power of “us.” We believe this represents the essential form of community building needed for the times ahead.

With this conviction, the Junior Chamber International Fukuyama will pursue activities under the theme “From Me to We” for the 2026 fiscal year.

In community development, we will reexamine Fukuyama's inherent attractions—its nature, industries, and culture—while incorporating domestic and international perspectives. Our goal is to create a city that inspires many people to think, “I want to visit here,” and “I want to be involved here.”

In human development, we will create environments where children and youth can think independently and take on challenges, while also valuing relationships where children and adults learn from each other and grow together.

Small actions by each individual connect and shape the city's future.

The Junior Chamber International Fukuyama of Commerce aims to walk alongside the local community, making Fukuyama's future brighter and more prosperous.

We sincerely ask for your continued understanding and support for the Junior Chamber International Fukuyama of Commerce's activities this year.

President for 2026
