Thank you to everyone who joined us for the

2025 JA Business Hall of Fame!

We’re especially proud of Trust Your Crazy Ideas Challenge student Madison Hatch, a junior at Chalmette High School, who shared how her JA experience has shaped her confidence and entrepreneurial growth—reminding us why we invest in the next generation.

In this video, you’ll hear from Madison and JA Board Member Kevin Ericksen, Senior Vice President at Hancock Whitney Bank, as he reflects on the impact he hopes his support of Junior Achievement will have on young people across our community.
