words. Last year marked the beginning of the JSRMPM and the
URMPM. Prof. Ryoji Sakai, Chairpersons of both Societies, directed an important membership drive and was . I
congratulate him for the success he brought to our enterprise and thank him
for the energy and enthusiasm he has put into the establishment of a global
network dedicated to the risk management for preventive medecine.
In the new year, we will hold our first international conference in
Tokyo. I am confident that we all will work hard to make it a resounding
success and a beginning of a string of such meetings. I am looking forward
to meeting many of you in Tokyo and Kyoto.
