 yJNZBC
- Youth Advisory Council of the Japan New Zealand Business
Council
Originating from a brainstorming session at the 37th Annual
Joint Meeting of the JNZBC in Tauranga, New Zealand, the
Council-proper has demonstrated an unprecedented vision
to secure the future of Japan-NZ relations. Your support
is very important to us!
The Youth Council (yJNZBC) is an opportunity to engage young
professionals at the outset of their careers.
 The
yJNZBC has a multi-tiered mandate:
* To support succession planning to
* Ensure long-term business relationships with Japan;
* Enhance network access and Track-II dialogue;
* Mentorship programmes that blend experience and innovation.
Young people are fresh, enthusiastic and have a great deal
of knowledge and skill when it comes to building relationships.
Their business acumen and open minds mean they are strong
leaders in today’s international market. They seek
out and capitalise on opportunities while adding real value
to strategic thinking movements of today.
yJNZBC position themselves firmly within the wider Council,
with the yJNZBC Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson sitting
on the Executive of the Council-proper.
The aim of this is to compliment the work undertaken Youth
Advocates and so there is an open line of communication.
Tasked with providing tangible results, the yJNZBC has appointed
sector leaders to drive our initiatives, mirroring the structure
style of the JNZBC.
The yJNZBC Foundation Members offer much experience currently
working with senior business leaders and their companies
to ensure their business interests are well connected into
the next generation.
The Foundation Members have established networks and understand
the nuance of business relations with Japan. They have travelled,
studied and worked professionally in Japan and are well
placed to mentor Youth Advocates.
Delivering real value to our Youth members is paramount.
We encourage and offer big ideas, strong relationships and
access to senior Members and international delegates. Our
intention is to support Track-II dialogue between Japan
and New Zealand and showcase not only analytical skill but
practical applications.

who had been invited to participate in the conference suggested
encouraging a low cost entry level involvement plan for
young people to drive a new dynamic within The Council.
In December 2010, Brian Martin, after consultation with
The Council Executive and got the ball rolling.
