Meet Chubu Walkathon Volunteer

May 14, 2019

Tanto in charge of Kids Activities

Nao Geisler has been heading up the committee in charge of the Chubu Walkathon Kids' Area for several years.

The Walkathon, being a family-friendly event, is great for children of all ages, with over a dozen activities (games, crafts, and sports) to keep the kids entertained.

Most activities take place in the covered gymnasium outside of the glaring sun, or heaven forbid...rain. That's right, the games go on - rain or shine!

Organizing the Kids Area, and the many volunteers required, is no small task. But Nao is no stranger to leadership. In fact, an active ACCJ Leader, she was awarded ACCJ Chubu Leader of the Year (presented at the annual Champagne Ball & Awards Evening ) in 2017 for her leadership, not only with the Walkathon, but also as chair of ACCJ Chubu's Women in Business Committee .

Ms. Geisler also finds time to run a successful business as owner and Principal of Kakuozan International Preschool.

The Walkathon thanks Nao for many years of dedicated support!

We couldn't do it without people like Nao!
