Haverford Business students represented us well at yesterday’s Junior Achievement Company Program Regional Competition! The JA Company Program was designed to bring high school students together to learn how to fill a need or solve a problem in their community by launching a business venture. All students involved have a hand in managing all aspects of finance, marketing, sales and management during this 13-week program. At the end of 13 weeks, the companies come together and compete for the chance to advance to Nationals. Yesterday’s competition was comprised of 4 elements – a team interview, stage presentation, booth presentation and individual interviews. We had 6 students representing Haverford – Nhi Nguyen representing her company Clayroma, as well as Alexis Lukaszewski, Reema Patel, Sara DiMarino, Orla Fay, and Jack Breslin representing their company Embark. Embark was a company created with the purpose of reminding you to “embrace today’s opportunities”. They started their company by selling reusable water bottles and logo shirts, all while spreading the message about their company through their #todayistheday moto!

Clayroma was a company created to encourage a healthy and sustainable alternative to conventional products. They started their company by creating clay air fresheners that work by absorbing essential oils and creating an all-natural aroma. They included two scent options with the purchase of any reusable clay air freshener.

Going into the competition, the students were recognized for the following positions, and chosen to represent their company at the regional level:

Nhi Nguyen – Company President (Clayroma) Alexis Lukaszewski – Company President (Embark) Reema Patel – Employee of the Year Sara DiMarino – Salesperson of the Year Orla Fay – Vice President of the Year Jack Breslin – Most Valuable Employee
