President’s Message

It is my pleasure to present the 2007 ACCJ Symposium
on Women in Financial Services. Last year’s inaugural
Symposium was a tremendous success, with a hugeturnout and overwhelmingly positive feedback. But
ACCJ members asked for more, and the ACCJ Financial
Services Committee has taken the lead in responding
with an even more ambitious program this year.
Diversity and inclusion have always been important to
ACCJ member companies. But this year, as in 2006,
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one of the
Chamber’s central pillars, meaning that this Symposium takes on an especially
important role in providing a forum for discussion of the many important
issues surrounding women in financial services. Indeed, with Japan’s workforce
shrinking rapidly, better integration of women into the workplace — including atsenior management levels — is a vital topic, and many ACCJ members, both in
the financial services industry and otherwise, are constantly striving to create
work environments that fully provide for the inclusion of women.
With a full-day program that includes a keynote address, panel discussions,workshops, and a networking reception, I am confident each attendee will findtremendous value in this Symposium. Human resources managers, diversity
officers, and other executives and senior managers of financial institutions
operating in Japan should leave with a better understanding of the key issues
surrounding the role and integration of women in financial services and takehome concrete suggestions on how to further encourage the contributions of
women in their organizations. Junior- and mid-career female professionals willtake away practical advice for developing their careers in the financial services
industry and will have opportunities to widen their personal networks.
In only its second year, the ACCJ Symposium on Women in Financial Services has
become one of the Chamber’s flagship events. I hope you enjoy the program.
Best regards,

Charles D. Lake II
ACCJ President

Thank You

Dear Friends,
Last year, we began a conversation about the role that women can andshould play in our financial services industry. We are delighted to have theopportunity to continue the dialogue at this year’s ACCJ Symposium on
Women in Financial Services.
As investors, lenders, advisors, and service providers, we share a common
interest in boosting the return on human capital both within our industry andacross the Japanese economy. Development, recognition and promotion of
female talent at all levels of organizations are crucial to achieving that goal.
As leaders, managers, and employees, we also share a common interest in
the successful attraction, development, and retention of female talent within
our own institutions. The ACCJ is committed to an ongoing examinationof how best to identify and address the challenges of integrating, training,and promoting women at all levels of our industry. We encourage you toactively participate in this initiative by contributing your time, intellect, andcreativity. Today’s Symposium is a great place to start.
The Japanese Government has launched several initiatives to boost Japan’scompetitiveness as an international financial center. Today’s Symposium andthe advancement of women in the financial workplace are some of the many
ways that the ACCJ Financial Services Committee is trying to contribute tothat ambitious goal. If you are interested in joining the Financial Services
Committee or one of our four active subcommittees in the fields of CapitalMarkets, Insurance, Investment Management, or Banking & Finance, pleasecontact Aki Watanuki, ACCJ Membership Manager (03 3433 8544; awatanuki@accj.or.jp). We hope to see you at another ACCJ program very soon.
