One year after the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan's Tohoku region, the people of Tohoku have made a great deal of progress toward meeting their immediate needs. But there are still years of reconstruction ahead.

On Wednesday, May 16, sixteen chambers of commerce and NPOs will present "Giving Back to Japan II: Community Leaders Report Out." This public forum, led by the Netherlands Chamber of Commerce in Japan, the Tohoku Planning Forum, and Hitotsubashi University ICS, features leaders of cities and towns across Tohoku.

Speakers include:

Mr. Kimiaki Toda, Mayor of Ofunato

Mr. Shigeru Sugawara, Mayor of Kesennuma

Mr. Kiichi Numazaki, Mayor of Yamada

Mr. Hidetoshi Watanabe, Mayor of Aizu Misato, and

Mr. Tsuneaki Iguchi, Mayor of Iwanuma

Peter Barakan, television and radio presenter, will guide a discussion about communities' efforts to rebuild; their ongoing needs; and the leaders' suggestions for ways individuals and organizations can help Tohoku recover.
