JA programs teach 21st century skills and offer real-world experiences. In the coming year, JAUM is focusing on the following strategies to keep our organization relevant: • Integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers at JA BizTown and introduce STEM into our K-12 curriculum • Educate students of different backgrounds and ethnicities about financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship • Incorporate innovative teaching methods into our learning facility and into our curriculum such as smart board technology, video lessons and personal devices • Offer real-life experiences (job shadows, competitions, capstone projects) to expose students to opportunities beyond their classroom • Conduct local evaluations to validate learning and JAUM’s impact on student motivation As we embark on another exciting year, we look to you for continued support to help connect students with educators and business people to build a more fiscally savvy community.

Ad Fed Update Consumer Trends Through the Eyes of the Retail World Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Although all companies and brands are subject to the same changing trends, reaction to these trends varies from industry to industry. Trend reports and trend watchers are useful tools as companies seek to engage the consumer and understand their motivation, especially during the financial crisis that is affecting so many businesses and individuals. Businesses are asking how the economy will affect their sales, their staff and their consumers. How can we utilize our analytics and strategic direction to continue to build upon our current consumer base? Is now a good time to be innovative? How are our consumers being affected by the economy? What can we, as a company, develop for ourselves and our consumers to effectively move forward? These are the types of questions that will be discussed at Ad Fed's March luncheon featuring guest speaker Ed Dobbles, vice president of research and analytics with SUPERVALU INC., and Brian Hooks, vice president of sales and marketing with Holiday StationStores. Dobbles obsesses over the patterns found in the millions of customer transactions per year conducted at SUPERVALU stores like Jewel, Cub or Albertsons. His team consists of 50 world-class analytical minds in the United States and India covering cool analytical functions like pricing, customer analytics and market share. Prior to SUPERVALU, Dobbles worked for Best Buy, where he helped build their customer-centric research organization. Hooks joined Holiday StationStores in 2006, taking on marketing direction and strategy, program development, brand development, market analysis, alliance and customer loyalty marketing, promotions and advertising media.

  • From Ambition to Impact: How Companies Are Reducing Emissions at Scale with Science-Based Targets
    FROM AMBITION TO IMPACT: HOW COMPANIES ARE REDUCING EMISSIONS AT SCALE WITH SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS SCIENCE BASED TARGETS INITIATIVE ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT, 2020 JANUARY 2021 INTRODUCTION: ABOUT THE SCIENCE BASED TARGETS INITIATIVE The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling companies to set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets aligned with what climate science shows is required to prevent catastrophic climate change. Founded in 2015, the SBTi is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi call to action is one of the We Mean Business Coalition commitments. By guiding companies’ target setting, the initiative enables businesses to tackle global warming while seizing the benefits and boosting their competitiveness in the transition to a net-zero economy. In addition to providing clear criteria and a step-by-step process for all businesses, the SBTi provides tailored guidance for specific sectors such as power generation and finance. Our vision is for science-based target setting to become the new normal, helping to create a thriving economy in harmony with the natural world. We need a race to the top, led by pioneering companies that empower peers, suppliers and customers to follow suit, and spur governments to take bolder action. ABOUT THE DATA This report utilized a number of data sources, including public and private CDP disclosure data, information retrieved from company sustainability reports and websites, other publicly available data related to global emissions figures and market capitalization, and data collected by the SBTi.
