Minister Koichi Ai of the Embassy of Japan hosted DC-region USJC members and staff on November 30 for a dinner gathering at his residence to learn more about the recent Annual Conference in Tokyo. The group shared memories and anecdotes of the conference and their experience traveling to Japan, and reminisced about past USJC conferences. It was also a great opportunity to share ideas and build excitement for the 2023 Annual Conference, which will be held next fall in Washington, DC. Thank you to DC Regional Chair Janet Nuzum (JALD ’10), who was in attendance, for her upcoming role as co-Host Committee Chair!
