Donovan Gordon
Candidate for Governor
Hello everyone,
I hope you remember me — I’m Donovan, originally from Toronto, Canada. I’ve been living in Japan for the past 12 years, and this coming July marks eight years since I joined the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (CCCJ).
Over the last six years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Co-Chair of the Gala Committee, helping organize our flagship event, the Maple Leaf Gala. It’s been incredibly rewarding to contribute to our vibrant community and support the Chamber’s mission through these events.
Event creation and coordination have been a consistent part of my professional and volunteer life, and I’m always energized by opportunities to bring people together in meaningful, memorable ways.
Now, I’m seeking your support as I stand for election as a Governor of the CCCJ. My intention as a Governor is to continue fostering community engagement, supporting Canadian businesses in Japan, and expanding the Chamber’s reach and impact through innovative, inclusive, and high-quality events. I believe deeply in the value of strong connections — both personal and professional — and I’m committed to helping the Chamber grow in ways that benefit all of our members.
I would be honored to represent you and contribute further to the Chamber’s continued success. Thank you for your time and consideration — I look forward to what we can build together.
Warm regards,
Donovan
