-Message from Aya Murakami-
The Murakami Family Foundation is honored to serve as a sponsor of the Milken Institute Japan Symposium 2019. Last year (2018), I had the privilege of speaking at the Milken Conference in Los Angeles, where I was deeply inspired by the numerous outstanding programs. We are extremely honored to participate as a sponsor in this globally renowned event’s first Japanese edition, featuring top leaders from various sectors. Additionally, I am delighted that Yoshiaki Murakami, our foundation’s founder, has been given the opportunity to discuss Japanese corporate governance—his life’s work—with distinguished leaders from various fields.
