We completed our review of counselling fees and are ready to implement an updated fee structure that we believe will help to maintain access to needed services. We also reissued our feedback survey so that we continue to take the pulse of the JSS community who we serve on an ongoing basis. These were recommendations flagged by our 2018 strategic planning exercise.<br \/><strong>Board Membership Recruitment<\/strong><br \/>Finally, we are recruiting new board members with a passion to serve the Japanese Canadian community. Non-profits like JSS need board members with a variety of skills to achieve the organization\u2019s goals. Whatever your professional background, serving as a board member can develop your soft skills and help you learn new ones. You will learn valuable leadership skills and be able to contribute directly to the strategic development of programs and services offered by JSS.<br \/>Please contact David Ikeda or any of the current Board Members at info@jss,ca if you are interested or have questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle ChibbaThe JSS Board of Directors had another busy year working with staff to ensure our organization continues to serve our community\u2019s needs.Financial Stability&nbsp;We continue to keep the financial viability of JSS a priority.
