At the Japan Badminton Association, executives such as Yoshio Sekine resigned, saying that they would take responsibility for management and supervision due to a series of scandals such as embezzlement by former staff members and fraudulent applications for subsidies.

In order to strengthen governance, the association plans to increase the ratio of external directors and female directors, as well as to strengthen the functions of the secretariat and improve operational skills.



In the future, we aim to invite a new chairman from outside.

I want to rebuild the association's management by accepting opinions and producing results at work. I was talking.
