Japanese Women Leaders Delegation
Japan Society hosted a delegation of nine mid-career female Japanese professionals from leading Japanese corporations, all engaged in women’s empowerment and diversity initiatives in Japan. The delegation visited the United States, focusing on New York and Washington D.C. The visit aimed to learn about women’s empowerment and diversity in the United States, establish a network of stakeholders involved in the development of female leaders in both Japan and the United States, and gain valuable knowledge to contribute to the advancement of women’s empowerment in Japan.
