Greetings from the President

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of the activities of the Fukuyama Junior Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Fukuyama Junior Chamber was founded in 1960, and thanks to the support of the local community, we are celebrating our 65th anniversary this year.
We have been striving to solve issues in the local community in order to realize a “bright and prosperous society” in which everyone can demonstrate their individuality and develop in a sustainable manner.

We believe that when creating something new or bringing about a new change, it is important to imagine what the future holds.
The ability to imagine the future is a precious ability that only human beings possess, and because we can imagine, we can take action with dreams and hopes.
And those who have continued to imagine a future that may seem fanciful and seriously challenge themselves to make it a reality have changed the world.

In today's rapidly changing social climate, we, as young businesspersons, must envision a bright and prosperous future based on a variety of information and have the awareness to take on the challenge to make it a reality.

With this in mind, we have adopted the slogan “Souzou: The One of Change the World” for FY2025, and together with the residents of Fukuyama, we will envision the ideal town of the future, establish attractive contents that will attract more people to visit Fukuyama as a destination, and create new values without fearing differences with others.
We will also develop human resources who can create new value without fear of being different from others.

A small step taken by someone can change a city, society, and the world.
Everyone can change the world. I believe so.

As one of those who can change the world, let us take a step forward to change the world and envision the future together.
I look forward to working with you over the next year.

Sincerely
2025th president of Junior Chamber International Fukuyama.
Sato Hikaru
