People Power- We did it! Next Steps

Thanks to all who have supported the Action Group – your comments, ideas and –  most importantly – your “No” vote have meant that we have been able to argue a solid case for change going forward.
The Action Group is currently talking to the BoG about how we move ahead. In those discussions, our key focus continues to be the principles of (1) a sense of urgency; (2) absolute transparency; (3) inclusion; and (4) accountability.
We expect to be able to let you know the detailed mechanisms for building a comprehensive Action Plan in the next few days. Our hope is that all parties can come together to solve the large problems we face. All members and staff deserve our complete commitment and collective effort.
In the meantime, keep the comments and ideas coming! We will only be successful if we continue to earn your support.
Help build a better American Club by being part of the change you want to see!

Salaries of Managers At Tokyo American Club

A large number of members have asked what the General Manager, Assistant GM, and the various other managers are making in annual salaries and bonuses at the TAC Townhall meetings.  It has just been posted on the Tokyo American Club website.

Management compensation (top 10 managers) comes in at 30-40% higher than industry standards. Also it should be noted that in the market these managers are bilingual Japanese and English speakers services clients in either language.

This bench marking is according to our multiple members running hotels in Japan.  This does not include secretarial services for translation.

Could this be part of the problem causing the financial bleeding of the club? Mr. Rike Woottens letter to the Board seems to be spot on.
