Spent the week in Kansas City, Missouri at the 2024 Junior Achievement USA National Leadership Conference. The focus was on "Scaling Success," building upon innovation and growth as we face challenges. The week was inspiring and I am grateful I was able to spend the time with JA colleagues from across the nation and from our own Junior Achievement of New York team, Adrienne Hadaway, Catherine Danyko-Sage, and Amber M. Briggs. We celebrated Jack Kosakowski's 50 years of service to JA and welcomed Jack Harris to the role of CEO of JA USA. The opening keynote by Dr. Adolph "Doc" Brown, III showed us that we need to acknowledge what is in our "backpack" and what others may be carrying in their "backpack." We also were able to visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, listen to jazz, and eat BBQ! Thanks for a great week, Megan Sturges Stanfield, Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City, and the team at JA USA!
