Promotion Announcement

PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENT

With the very sad loss of our former Vice President Santo Castoro-meijin back in September 2018, we were left with a vacant position in the Renmei.

Effective today, 4th January 2019 William Stockey-meijin (USA) has been promoted to the position of  Fuku-kaichō (Vice President) of Kodō Butoku Renmei . We wish to make it very clear, this is not like a corporate gesture position — it is extremely active and there is only  ‘one’  Vice President.

In terms of seniority, he is the obvious candidate. He is also a man of dignity, strong morals, and understands the path our Renmei is taking as we move forward for the future. He has been with the Renmei from almost our beginning in 2002, and has become a close friend of my family.
