possession. The number of people who act for
an organization and a community as a leader isexpected to increase.
Our members who have acted as a local leader
will make a big impact on other members andlocal citizens. The number of active citizens isexpected to increase in the community.

What changes

In the future, we would like to provide
opportunities for people to know otherpeople's activities who have acted as a local

motivated to act positively. As a result,synergistic effects are also expected.
We would like to include specific examples in
the handbook so that people can takeleadership effectively. Because of this, thevalue of the handbook is expected to enhance.
