AT&T Makes $1 Million Gift to Support
JA's Business Transformation Initiative
AT&T has approved a $1,000,000 corporate
contribution over four years to JA Worldwide to support
JA Worldwide's Business Transformation Initiative.
The Business Transformation Initiative consists of the
design, development, and deployment of an enterprise
platform solution that addresses three core
areas that impact every JA local area office on a global
basis.
- This initiative will have a direct and positive
impact on each of the local affiliates as it will
increase the effectiveness of the educational delivery
through improved management of classes, teachers,
schools, and volunteers.
- Donor cultivation and management for increased
fundraising capabilities.
- Special Event management capabilities.
The Business Transformation Initiative will automate
many of the administrative tasks that staff members
currently perform manually. The application will
also promote better visibility of key metrics so
that U.S. JA areas and Member Nations can monitor their
performance and make real-time adjustments. Our
sincere thanks to JA Worldwide Board Member Ralph de la
Vega, Group President - AT&T Regional Wireline
Operations; and Laura Sanford, President - AT&T
Foundation for their support of JA locally and
throughout the
world. |
| JA Business Ethics
New Program
Introduction
 JA Business
Ethics is designed to foster ethical
decision-making in students as they prepare to enter the
workforce. The program consists of seven
volunteer-led sessions during which students learn to
recognize, analyze, and apply basic terminology,
theories, and concepts common to the study of
ethics. They explore their own ethical values and
philosophy, establish ethical priorities, recognize key
ethical issues, and learn to evaluate their
decision-making process. Junior Achievement gratefully
acknowledges Deloitte for its dedication to the
development and implementation of JA Business
Ethics. | | |
