2006-2007 Committee
Hello, Toyama!
It's almost time for the 2005-2006 Toyama AJET committee to pass the reins to a new crew! I mean, we can't hog all the fun! If you are interested in playing a more active role in AJET or are looking for a way to get more involved in prefectural activities next year, please consider nominating yourself or a friend for one of these positions. The work is voluntary, of course, but truly rewarding and a great addition to your CV/resume.
Toyama AJET is one of the great things about being a JET in Toyama Prefecture, because we're historically a lot more active than other prefectural chapters. But we need some new blood going into the new year -- starting from June, in fact!
Below you'll find short descriptions of each position in the Toyama Committee. If you'd like some more information about any of the jobs, please contact the person doing the job this year or email me at ajet_toyamaATyahooDOTcom.
Thanks,
Phil 2005-2006 Toyama Prefectural Representative
