Congratulations to the class of 2024 including our CEO Reid Waldman! What a great evening celebrating some incredible and inspiring leaders. We'd also be remiss if we didn't mention the wonderful remarks delivered by Ms. Hailey Washington!
On Tuesday, April 2, Junior Achievement of Southwest New England held our annual JA Business Hall of Fame awards ceremony and dinner. This year, we inducted six very deserving individuals into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to Karen DuBois-Walton, Sam Gray, Dr. Reid Waldman, Thomas Sansone, Bill Griffeth, and Donald Allan Jr.! We also heard from a remarkable high school senior, Hailey Washington, who has been a stand out student in several JA programs! Guests also enjoyed meeting all three of this year's JA Entrepreneurial Academy student companies at their sales tables. Lastly, we had the most incredible audience of attendees and a generous slate of sponsors and supporters helping us beat our goal of raising $360,000 for JA programs across Connecticut! Stay tuned for more event photos, videos, a digital program and more!
