Jeffrey Buntin, Jr. has been an integral part of the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors for many years. He has worked tirelessly to promote the awareness of Junior Achievement throughout Middle Tennessee and he has our deepest gratitude for his work.

Jeffrey has launched several awareness initiatives in the past few months, creating a new marketing brand to unite JA's efforts. Advertisements, in association with Northwestern Mutual and the Pruett Financial Group, have appeared in The Tennessean and the Nashville Business Journal to spearhead the new marketing campaign. Additionally, an informational piece highlighting JA BizTown™, JA's classroom programs, and JA's impact on students' lives is being utilized to spread the word about JA's purpose to potential donors and volunteers.

I would like to thank Jeffrey and the team at The Buntin Group for their efforts in promoting JA's message of business, workforce readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurial education. Their support will make a huge difference in the lives of 45,000 students in 16 Middle Tennessee counties this year.

In Jeffery's own words, "No one is too young to experience their first year in business."

Warm Regards,

Trent
