The JASC Annual Charity Golf Tournament is an important networking event that allows members of the local international business community to come together for a relaxed day of golf followed by a sushi dinner. Employees of both Japanese companies located in Colorado and Colorado companies doing business in Japan have the chance to meet and learn from one another. This fun event was held in June at Plum Creek Golf Club. We were happy to collaborate with the Japanese Business Association of the Rockies. We welcomed more than 100 golfers and 10 volunteers.
Passport to Japan is a top program of Japan America Society of Colorado, focusing on basic conversational Japanese language, cultural lessons, and general information about travel throughout Japan. In 2024, we offered Passport to Japan in Level 1 and Level 2. The classes were offered 4 times throughout the year and continue to prove to be very well received by the community, oftentimes selling out completely.
Other key program expenses include Cultural events, Japan Cup, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese Kite Festival, the Business Speaker Series event and Japan in the Schools.
Additional conference, marketing, meeting and staffing expenses that are directly related to program execution. In an event based organization, these program staffing costs are critical to executing the mission of the organization
