The 2011 laureates were selected by a committee comprised of previous inductees of the JA Hall of Achievement and Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas Board of Directors.
In addition to the induction ceremony, the laureates are honored in a permanent educational display located within Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas' experiential learning center, JA BizTown located at Dacoma and T.C. Jester. Each laureate's life story is displayed to share a unique perspective of the individual's life as an adult as well as a child. In each laureate's story, children find threads of hope and the motivation to dream bigger, work harder, and most importantly, never give up on themselves. Nearly 20,000 young people participate in the hands-on JA BizTown experience every school year.
The JA Hall of Achievement was founded by Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas in 2006, and has inducted fifteen Houstonians to date. To learn more about the event and purchase tickets for the event, visit www.jahouston.org.
