We saw facebook groups created for regions across Japan, to allow JETs to connect with other JETs locally and share what they found relevant to their experiences. We saw AJET make a presence in the twitter universe and speak to the public, as well as multiple instances of coverage in the media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AJET got involved with <strong>JET Alumni<\/strong> and members of our council even attended the <strong>JETAA International Conference<\/strong>, to make sure current JETs were represented. AJET engaged Embassies and started close relationships with U.S. and Canadian governments, which we\u2019re hoping will result in more and more opportunities for JETs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ajet.net\/past-councils\/#2011\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to see a list of Matt and the AJET Council&#8217;s accomplishments.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted to the AJET website on May 25, 2012: AJET Chairman, Matthew Cook: My Final Message as Chair CLICK HERE\u00a0to read the full message on the AJET website.
