USJETAA - JET Programme 30th Anniversary - All-Alumni Reunion Planning

All-Alumni Reunion Planning Survey for JET 30th Anniversary

Next year is the 30th Anniversary of the JET Programme and what better time to reconnect with other JETs to celebrate 30 years of cross-cultural exchange, friendship and U.S.-Japan relations?

USJETAA is planning to organize an "All-Alumni" Reunion in Washington, DC for JET alumni next summer (2017) to celebrate. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and let us know what is of interest to you!

(And, please note, although USJETAA is focused on JET alumni in the U.S., we'd love to have JET alumni from around the world join us for this event!)

USJETAA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created in 2015 to support the network of over 32,000 individual JET alumni in the U.S. Please visit our website at www.usjetaa.org for more information and to join our online directory of JET alumni.
