Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is a committed, strategic group of community leaders who serve Junior Achievement in an advisory role. They are passionate about teaching young people about their futures and the opportunities they have within their reach. This group invests time throughout the year to offer guidance and support of Junior Achievement’s mission.
