Financial Transparency Statement
The Global Taimyo Community (GTC) is a worldwide community of practitioners. The group meets to practice and talk several times a year via webconference, and includes friendships from decades of teaching and practice. As an informal group, GTC has a resources website and links to H.F. Ito’s Day Street Dojo website, but it has no financial accounts or formal organizational status.
GTC uses registration fees and other funds to pay honoraria for:
● Leading Taimyo Kata
● Technical oversight (Masashi Minagawa)
● GTC website management
● Video production and editing
● Event planning/organization - the GTC Planning Team meets monthly
The GTC Planning Team plans to continue with this structure, and welcomes your feedback and suggestions for improvement.
