    Japan Tennis Association Business Report for FY2016 (April 1, 2016 ~ March 31, 2017)

    Japan Tennis Association Business Report for FY2016 (April 1, 2016 ~ March 31, 2017) 1. Organizational Management In FY2016, the Japan Tennis Association was run based on the Meeting of the Board of Directors and the monthly Meeting of Executive Directors under the re-elected JTA President, Nobuo Kuroyanagi. However, policies were planned and executed by 25 specialized committees set up under four sectoral departments, namely High Performance, Development, Event Operations, and General/Finance, and by 12 offices established directly under the President, the Senior Executive Director, and the Board of Executive Directors. The Board of Councilors, consisting of 69 representatives of member and cooperative associations and opinion leaders, met twice in the fiscal year and passed resolutions for the FY2016 business results and financial statement as well as the FY2017 business plans and budget. JTA's business scale has expanded since becoming a public interest incorporated foundation (koueki zaidan houjin), thanks to the increasing interest in tennis by Japanese society, implementing projects to strengthen players for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and hosting tournaments. The operating organization required strengthening, which resulted in an amendment in the articles of incorporation by the Board of Councilors. The number of Directors was increased from a maximum of 30 to a maximum of 35 directors, and the number of Executive Directors was increased from 15 to 17. Committee activities expanded, which subsequently increased the workload of the JTA secretariat that supports all committee activities. In particular, during the Japan Tennis Weeks, the tournament operating headquarters and the secretariat showed perfect teamwork in the months of September and October.
