Letter from Ned Isokawa, Outgoing Board President
Dear J-Sei Community,
Community support is the lifeblood of any service organization like J-Sei. That support comes in many forms – volunteers and financial to name but a few. And what that support enables is the ability and confidence to expand existing capabilities and envision even more ways to serve the community that supports us.
That community support will be my strongest memory of the eight years I served as J-Sei Board President. Over that time, any doubts I had about J-Sei’s ability to live up to its legacy were erased by the steadfast collective commitment I came to realize could be called upon again and again. This is a measure of the strength of the J-Sei community.
I am profoundly grateful and proud to have had the privilege of serving as Board President. There are many who made my tenure as president so rewarding and enjoyable, and thanks to them all. I leave office with a sense of accomplishment, confident that J-Sei’s future is bright under the leadership of new Board President Aki Nakao.
Gratefully yours,
Ned Isokawa
I would like to thank the J-Sei board for giving me this opportunity to work with them and for such a meaningful organization. 
Matthew Fujikawa is the newest member of the J-Sei Board, and he is looking forward to helping continue the mission of the organization and seeking ways to expand and enrich our services. He is a long time member of Sycamore Church, a past participant of the Japanese youth league basketball, and a past player, coach, and club member of the Golden Gate Optimist Club baseball league. Matthew is a life-long resident of the East Bay, except for a few years in Los Angeles for college, and he is eager to give back to the senior community where he has spent most of his life.
