  Japan House Los Angeles - Fifth Floor

  Translating to “hidden retreat,” INN ANN offers a high-end, seasonal Japanese dining experience.  Embodying the idea of “Discover Umami” —the fifth savory taste essential to the balance of Japanese cuisine— this exclusive dinner and premium sake pairing will be prepared by INN ANN's Michelin-starred Executive Chef, Mori Onodera.

  About Executive Chef Mori Onodera
  An esteemed sushi master, Chef Onodera once told Los Angeles Magazine, “Rice is 70%, fish is 30%,” highlighting the importance he places on the quality of the rice he serves.  He grows his own rice in partnership with Tamaki Farms.  He also meticulously sources fresh fish for his signature sushi, placing a major emphasis on sustainable seafood.  Inn Ann meals are served on Chef Onodera’s own handmade pottery, as well as custom Arita-yaki porcelain to further immerse guests into Japanese culture.

  8:00pm Additional Networking

  There’s a “perfect storm” in leadership today. And it is being fueled by a new generation of leaders.  By challenging the status quo, millennials, without even knowing it, are pushing us to “shift” the way we lead.

  The so-called “soft” stuff that previous generations of leaders ridiculed as useless, today is key. Neuroscience is proving that intellect, which is one-third of our innate intelligences, is no longer enough. The other two-thirds, the intelligence of our hearts and our bodies, has wisdom that the mind does not. Knowing how to develop those intelligences within ourselves and our employees is critical to engage and thrive in this century. Today if leaders are not willing to make the “shift”, they will not succeed.

  カリフォルニア消費者プライバシー法

  準備期間は残り9ヶ月

  
  

  カリフォルニアの住民があなたの会社でのデータ収集について問い合わせてきた場合、45日以内に過去12ヶ月間その住民について集めたありとあらゆる個人情報を、その住民に簡単に使いやすい形にして提出することができますか？
  

  
  

  2019年 5月 17日（金）午前9 時～午前11:30 時半

  都ハイブリッドホテルトーランス
  21381 S. Western Ave, Torrance, CA 90501

  これは、昨年成立し2020年1月1日に発効するカリフォルニア州の新たな「カリフォルニア消費者プライバシー法 (CCPA)」のもとで、新たに対応が求められる事項の一つです。 CCPAは規模に関わらず幅広い範囲の企業に適用され、カリフォルニア州外の企業であっても、カリフォルニア州の住民に関する個人情報を保有していれば適用されます。 CCPAは消費者に対して、企業が自分に関して保有するあらゆる個人情報のコピーを出すよう求める権利や、自分の情報を削除してもらう権利や、あなたの会社に対して自分の情報を売却あるいは開示しないよう求める権利を新たに与えています。同じ日に25件の請求を受けた場合を 想像してみてください。 あなたの会社のビジネスはどのような影響を受けることになるでしょうか？

  法律が発効するまでちょうど残り9ヶ月以下となった今こそが、新たなプライバシー法のもとで対応を求められる事項を理解し、あなたの会社の内部システムをCCPAの要求に合うように調整する絶好のタイミングといえます。 このセミナーでは、以下のトピックを扱う予定です。
  

  1. 新法CCPAの紹介

  2. CCPAのもとでの企業の新たな義務とコンプライアンスの課題

  3. CCPAのもとでの消費者の新たな権利

  4. CCPAのコンプライアンスのための実務上の手引き

  5. 質疑応答

• Norman Mineta and His Legacy: An American Story - PBS Premiere Broadcast

  • When
    Monday, May 20, 2019
  •  
    9:00 PM
  • Location
    PBS Broadcast

  
  

  
  

  “Norman Mineta and His Legacy: An American Story”
  

  
  

  PBS Premiere Broadcast of the award winning documentary film.

  
  

  Monday, May 20, 2019   9:00pm Broadcast

  
  

  Japan America Society of Southern California is proud to be a Legacy Partner of the Mineta Legacy Project and share Secretary Norman Mineta’s life story and contributions to a national audience.

  A son of immigrants and forced into a U.S. World War II concentration camp as a child, Norman Mineta became the first Asian American mayor of a major city (San Jose, California), leading to a distinguished 20-year career in Congress, and was the first Asian American Cabinet member, serving two U.S. Presidents, a Democrat and Republican.

  He never forgot his roots or the shame and humiliation he and his family felt during WWII, and led the way for an apology from the U.S. government and redress for Japanese Americans.  On September 11, 2001, his leadership as U.S. Secretary of Transportation, would ensure that what happened to Japanese Americans during WWII did not happen to any other group based on ethnicity or religion.

  The Mineta Legacy Project captures the life, career and contributions of Secretary Norman Y. Mineta in an hour-long nationally televised documentary and online educational curriculum for high school and college students.

  Additional Speakers will be announced soon.

  Increasing evidence shows that playing sports can transfer into your professional career, helping you become a better and more influential leader.

  Playing sports is often considered a male thing, but the expectation that sports can help your career holds for women as well as men. In a 2014 report of women executives by Ernst and Young (EY) Women Athletes Business Network and espnW, 74% said a background in sport can help accelerate a woman’s career.  In another report, they found an overwhelming correlation between athletic and business success; 94% of women in the C-suite played sports and 80% of female Fortune executives played competitive sports.

  Against the backdrop of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, this year’s conference will address the character traits and attributes that are common among great athletes and business leaders.  The speakers will highlight leadership qualities that are both effective on and off the field, and share skills learned in athletics that have a direct workplace crossover.
