I am told that the response to this event has grown tremendously, with almost double the attendance when compared to last year’s event. I believe this demonstrates the positive impact our company is having and will continue to have on the lives of our young people and will help them during their transition from student to a productive and sustainable career. Our JBA team members have also come forward and stepped up their level of support for this important event. I know this level of commitment and communication by each team member will stand out and serve as a role model to the group of young people attending. I look forward to seeing all of the participants and meeting the next generation of engineers, scientists, health care professionals, teachers and mentors.
