At Junior Achievement of the Triad, we are fortunate to be guided by an exceptional Board of Directors—dedicated community leaders who bring their time, talent, and treasure to advance our mission of preparing young people for success. These individuals are more than just names on a roster; they are active partners in empowering the next generation through financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship education.

Each of our board members plays a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of JA, helping us to grow our reach and deepen our impact across the Triad. Whether advising on program development, connecting us with key community stakeholders, or volunteering in classrooms, their leadership is both visionary and hands-on. We are proud to say that every member of our board is personally engaged in our mission and invested in the success of the students we serve.

Our board reflects the strength and diversity of the Triad community—representing business, education, finance, technology, nonprofit, and public service sectors. Together, they bring a wealth of expertise and insight that fuels innovation and ensures JA remains relevant and responsive to the needs of today's youth.

As we look to the future, we do so with gratitude for the unwavering support of our board. Their belief in the potential of young people—and their commitment to helping them realize it—is at the heart of everything we do. Simply put, we couldn’t do this work without them.
