団体・運営に対するコメント

• 今回初めてJWIBAさんのイベントに参加させていただきましたが、とても良い団体・イベントだと感じました。 司会進行の方、運営の方々、受付の方々の対応が非常に気持ちよく、安心して参加することができました。これまでいくつかのイベントに参加してきましたが、その中でも特に温かく、また参加したいと思える雰囲気でした。
• 私はこのベイエリアに渡米して２年半くらい経ちましたが、昨日までこのような活動があること自体知りませんでした。女性の方が社会貢献のために立ち上がり、色んな活動をされていることを知って熱意や行動力、そしてその背中が「かっこいいな！」と純粋に思いました。応援してます！

参加者同士のつながりを育むコミュニティ活動に対するコメント

• 今回初めてJWIBAのイベントに参加しましたが、本当に素敵な時間でした。登壇者やモデレーターの皆さんのお話を聞き、さまざまなキャリアやバックグラウンドを持つ素敵な女性がいることを知れて、とても刺激を受けました。 参加者の方々も含め、本当にいろいろなキャリアや経験を持つ方が集まっていて、「こんなコミュニティがあるんだ」と実感できたことも印象に残っています。登壇者、モデレーターの皆さま、貴重なお話をありがとうございました！
• 生活やこどもの話をできる友人はいても、キャリアの相談ができる友人を見つけることが難しいと感じており、このような機会を頂き大変ありがたく感じました。
• 私自身今回の参加は初めてで不安もあったのですが、子供を日本において単身赴任をしてらっしゃる方（私と同じ境遇の方）とお知り合いになれたらという思いもあって参加を決めました。ネットワーキングの際にJWIBAの方にこちらで子育て中の方をご紹介頂き、非常にありがたかったです。また機会があれば是非参加させて頂きたいと思います。
• とりわけ海外となると殆どロールモデルがいないため、皆様のキャリアパスや日頃の心がけなど、全てに学びと共感があり、とても貴重な時間でした！
• 熱意のシャワーを浴びる事ができ、今一度自分が本当にやりたい事を内省する事が出来ました。

• パネラーの方々の貴重なお話しや、興味深いプレゼンなどご準備が本当に大変だっと思いますが、この素晴らしいイベントを開催して頂き本当にありがとうございます。参加できて本当に良かったです。
• 変わる学び、変わらない本質 ─ AI時代に育む創造性と人間らしさ のパネルディスカッションは、小さい子どもを持つ母親として一番心に響くものであり、これまで不安に感じていた子育ての向き合い方や将来を見据えての学習環境の整え方など、非常に実りの多かったものとなりました。特にご登壇された方々の経歴や視点はもちろん、人柄の良さにも触れられ、大変有意義なディスカッションだったと思います。
• このような会に初めて参加させていただきました。アメリカでのキャリア開始/チェンジで悩んでいますが、多様なストーリーを聞いて励まされるかつ刺激をもらいました。
• I had the privilege of hearing from specialists in various fields about how to live and build a career in the age of AI, which made it a truly valuable experience. I was also deeply impressed by the thoughtful hospitality of the JWIBA members and volunteers—the attention to detail and consideration shown reminded me once again of the remarkable attentiveness of Japanese women.
• I loved yesterday's summit! It was wonderful hearing about the experiences and advice from the speakers; I am confident about applying them to my own career! I also had the opportunity to network with some of the attendees during lunch and after the presentations were over. I want to visit next year's JWIBA Summer Summit!

• It was my first time attending, and I learned far more than I expected. I’m grateful to have heard from such wonderful speakers.Translated from Japanese
• I imagine preparing the panelists’ valuable talks and the fascinating presentations took a great deal of work. Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful event. I’m really glad I was able to attend.Translated from Japanese
• As a mother of young children, the panel discussion “Changing Learning, Unchanging Essence — Nurturing Creativity and Humanity in the Age of AI” resonated with me the most. It was extremely fruitful, touching on the worries I’ve had about how to approach parenting and how to shape a learning environment with the future in mind. Beyond the panelists’ backgrounds and perspectives, I was also moved by their warm personalities. It was a truly meaningful discussion.Translated from Japanese
• This was my first time attending an event like this. I’ve been struggling with starting or changing my career in the U.S., and hearing so many diverse stories both encouraged and inspired me.Translated from Japanese

On networking

• Thank you for all your hard work. I think this is a wonderful initiative, and I will keep supporting you.Translated from Japanese
• This was my first time learning about JWIBA and attending, and I’m very grateful that you’ve built a network like this.Translated from Japanese
• It was my first time attending, and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for all the preparation. I was surprised to see so many women there, and it was especially great to talk with people I would never meet through work.Translated from Japanese

Comments on our community activities that foster connections among participants

• This was my first JWIBA event, and it was a truly wonderful time. Listening to the speakers and moderators, I learned that there are so many amazing women with diverse careers and backgrounds, and I was very inspired. The attendees, too, brought all kinds of careers and experiences, and realizing “there’s a community like this!” left a lasting impression on me. Thank you to the speakers and moderators for sharing such valuable stories!Translated from Japanese
• I have friends I can talk to about daily life and kids, but I’ve found it hard to find friends I can talk to about my career, so I’m very grateful for this opportunity.Translated from Japanese
• This was my first time attending and I was a little nervous, but I decided to come partly in the hope of meeting someone working here while their children are in Japan, like me. During networking, a JWIBA member introduced me to people raising children here, which I really appreciated. I’d love to join again if I have the chance.Translated from Japanese
• Especially overseas, there are hardly any role models, so I learned from and related to everything — your career paths, the way you approach each day. It was a truly precious time!Translated from Japanese
• I was showered with passion, and it gave me the chance to reflect once again on what I truly want to do.Translated from Japanese

Comments on our organization and team

• This was my first time attending a JWIBA event, and I felt it was a wonderful organization and event. The MCs, organizers, and reception staff were so welcoming that I felt completely at ease. Of all the events I’ve attended, this one had an especially warm atmosphere that makes me want to come back.Translated from Japanese
• I moved to the Bay Area about two and a half years ago, but until yesterday I didn’t even know activities like this existed. Learning that women have stepped up to give back to society through so many activities, I was genuinely struck by their passion and drive — I simply thought, “How cool!” I’m cheering you on!Translated from Japanese
