Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa Board of Directors

At the very heart of Junior Achievement is our volunteers...
They come from all walks of life, but they share a passionate dedication to the free enterprise message of hope and opportunity. From teaching in-class programs to hosting special events, these extraordinary people are the lifeblood of the organization. In fact, we’ve asked some of our distinguished volunteers to serve on our Board of Directors. They continue to help set the direction for Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa.
