The ​ACCJ Launches New External Affairs Briefing Series

Read Now
 
Picture
The ACCJ External Affairs Department is committed to ensuring greater access to and understanding of the ACCJ's advocacy efforts. As part of this mission, we are kicking off a new program called the EA Briefing Series, featuring “101” sessions on buzzword topics. 
​What are the real issues behind such terms as “data privacy,” “US-Japan trade,” or “drug pricing”? These sessions will help ACCJ members better understand timely business topics, increasing the Chamber-wide knowledge base. Industry experts will lead the briefings, which are designed for a general audience to walk away with five key points summarizing what all the “buzz” is about.
The 2019 series will feature sessions on personal information protection, healthcare, and US-Japan trade (topics to be confirmed). The sessions are open to all ACCJ members.
 
More information on the first two sessions in September are below. We look forward to seeing you at these special briefings.
