JET ROI: More extensive Kyodo News article on JETAA USA Conference

Kyodo News has published a more extensive article on the JETAA USA National Conference (“US JET alums rally to save group’s funding from chopping block”) held in New York City August 12-15.  Quotes from JETAA NY President Megan Miller (Hyogo-ken, 2000-02) feature prominently and help make the case for the value of JETAA to Japan while building on existing momentum.  Such as:

“We now have a unified goal and position, which enables us to send a strong and consistent message to the Japanese government and to our local communities that JET and JETAA are not only worthwhile but essential to U.S.-Japan relations.”

Here’s the link to the full article in The Mainichi Dailyhttp://mdn.mainichi.jp/features/news/20100826p2g00m0fe075000c.html

And here’s a scan of the first page of the original Kyodo article which includes a photo of Megan.  (The Kyodo version is only available via subscription.)
