Every year we and our brilliant and thoughtful committee, panelists, and speakers are tasked with the duty to explore and share insights about topics around inequities and the barriers women may face for their financial freedom. This year we dove into the hard topic of biases and how many of them disproportionately affect women’s careers and economic futures.
Our fourth annual JA F.E.M. Forum proved to be no less of a thoughtful and fun morning for our community to come together to have important conversations, inspirational speakers, delicious brunch, and student mentoring.
While we at JA know our experiences for young people are life changing, we also know there are systemic barriers that many of our students and community members face. Through special events like F.E.M. and our work with students in the classroom we want to help give young people the confidence, courage, and tools so that in the face of adversity they don’t run but be bold to create a better future for themselves and for their communities.
Thank you to all those that partnered and supported this year’s forum! We still have people telling us how much they enjoyed this event and how they were inspired. We could not have such a successful event without all of you!
A very special shout out to Delta Air Lines and Experian for all of your generous support of Junior Achievements here and around the globe. We applaud your dedication to equity and education.
