On October 8, Junior Achievement celebrated JA Uncorked sponsors and event co-chairs at a soiree at Boca Raton Resort and Club's "the blue". With breathtaking views, the restaurant was a fascinating place to thank loyal JA Circle of Wise Women supporters, 2018 JA Uncorked Co-Chairs Katie Leibick, Summer Robertson and Dawn Stagliano, and to introduce the 2019 JA Uncorked co-chairs Sharon Gustafson-Florescue, Sharon Brooks and Susan Rindley-Devlin. It was hosted by Stacie Weisman.

JA Fellows is Creating Future Entrepreneurs
On Saturday, October 6, more than 100 high school students gathered at Nova Southeastern University for the annual JA Fellows Retreat. The students discovered more about what it takes to conceptualize, capitalize and manage their own small businesses.
When asked what they enjoyed about the day, students said:
"The entrepreneurs giving advice and telling stories."
"The speakers because they provided us with a lot of key ideas that we have to think about while starting a business."
"Learning how to make my product the best it can be."
"The breakout sessions about management, finances and other topics were interesting."
