2010 JETAA Elections
Volunteering as a JETAA officer or committee chairperson is an easy and fun way to get more involved in Portland’s Japanese community! We hold monthly meetings over dinner, which is provided by JETAA, and is often at a popular area Japanese restaurant. All officers and chairs are invited to events at the Consul-General’s house, where it’s easy to meet leaders from the Japanese community. And we have the opportunity to be involved with lots of other local organizations, building ties and making each others’ events even better.
