MEET OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We are thrilled to welcome and thank new JA BizTown and JA Finance Park storefront partners to JA World!

Better Business Bureau, Rick Case Automotive and Truly Nolen will be joining 15 dedicated companies in JA BizTown this fall. Consolidated Credit/Debt.com will now be among 16 visionary companies in JA Finance Park. 

Their decision to partner is a great investment strategy. These companies are not only investing in the programs that help prepare future generations of our workforce, but they're also demonstrating their commitment to the community and building their brands as companies that give back.

"Our company is committed to creating a stronger community. We believe teaching young people the importance of making positive financial decisions is critical to success and stability. Our decision to support JA programs and create a physical presence in JA World is a great way to invest in every young person," shared Howard Dvorkin, CEO, Consolidated Credit. 

A storefront in JA World is a prime investment in the future! If you're interested in one of the few open storefronts, please contact Adrinia Woods, Chief Revenue Officer, at Adrina@JASouthFlorida.org
