The Managing Director of SSF, Max Tamazawa, who is also a member of the TAFISA Board, gave a presentation at the workshop from Japan. He introduced the concept of “Regional Sport Management Organization (RSMO)”, which is innovative approach to revitalize the regional sport developed by SSF and how the pilot project is working with Kakuda City in Miyagi Prefecture.
