Hands down the most effective conference for educators of personal finance. Not only has the national team of Laura L. Levine Dan Hebert Joel Chrisler and many more, mastered hosting a comprehensive conference with a teacher-centered focus (it's in their mission!), they are doing incredible work ALL year long to promote why this content is critical to our nation's youth. I have leaned on all three of these individuals at one time or another since discovering their work, and often stated that #JumpStartNEC changed my classroom, not only for me, but for my students. (Mystic Dan) #DanTheMan, Laura, Joel, the entire JumpStart Team...I appreciate you for wanting my classroom to be better in providing high-quality, highly-engaging personal finance resources for ALL of my students. I wish State Departments of Education understood how this work has been comprehensive for many years, not just convenient timing in recent headlines. You understand the data and the importance of doing this correctly. Apply today!!

"Shaping Generational Impact In The Outdoors: How Breaking Targets Is Breaking Barriers And Providing Outdoor Opportunities For All" By Brittany French Safety, discipline, responsibility, self-confidence and respect are all characteristics that were instilled in us from a young age. Now, it is our responsibility and opportunity to pass that on to the generations that come behind us. The USA Clay Target League is leading by example by creating a space for over 49,000 student-athletes to learn the various disciplines of clay shooting in a single school year. Rooted in safety, fun, and marksmanship, the league continues to grow year after year, equipping the next generation to continue building the legacy of its impact.

The biggest celebrity in the world is not a sports star or a Hollywood actor/actress, he is a Youtuber. Mr. Beast has over 200 million subscribers to his channel and his videos easily surpass that number in views on a consistent basis. Jimmy has also exemplified the era of celebrities going from marketing products, to launching products, realizing their full worth in the value chain. This is no surprise that most products are nothing without a marketing plan, and influencers realizing their true weight in the revenue they drive for businesses has competely transformed the landscape. Instead of taking money to promote products, they have created their own brands to maximize their profit, and done so very successfully. The future holds exciting prospects for this evolving relationship between creators and consumers. As influencers continue to launch their own brands successfully, it suggests that the marketing game will no longer be dominated solely by established companies. Smaller businesses and individuals with a strong online presence will have the opportunity to shape the market by creating and promoting products that genuinely resonate with their audiences.. Prime with Gatorade, Feastibles with Hersheys. This shift also underlines the importance of authenticity and trust. Consumers are drawn to influencers they believe in, who have built a genuine connection with their audience. In an age of information overload, the trust these influencers have cultivated is an invaluable asset for product promotion. In conclusion, the evolving landscape of product development and marketing is marked by a move towards authenticity, collaboration, and the power of individual influence. As influencers continue to leverage their online presence to create successful brands, we can anticipate a future where consumers have even more influence over the products they buy and where authenticity remains at the core of marketing strategies, something all marketers need to consider going forward.

Proud to be an Alumni of Consumer, Apparel, & Retail Studies Department at UNCG! Congratulations Class of 2024. It's hard to believe that I graduated over 33yrs ago from the "G." I was literally the first Auto-cad Computer class. We literally with the teacher had to figure it out together. That experience taught me that it's not what you know, that always gets you to the next level but that you have the aptitude, inquisitiveness and that you are willing to find a way in the dark. The professor was transparent and admitted that she had not been trained on the program. She thought it was a great display of team effort to create our own mode of operation and push each other into the 21st Century of Tech. Around that same time "Prodigy" was the brain child of Sears and Roebuck company that attempted to move into the age of the internet but they were too early and only had a hint of what was to come. Had they forged that path a little longer they may have become the Amazon of today. Sears formerly was the King of Retail Communication sending out the infamous Christmas Sears & Roebuck catalog every year. They almost remained the King of the Hill. Lesson: Into the dark we all may go but he who creates the flashlight or a flash of light will become the bolt that drives your mission into the next dimension. #foodforthought #sears #amazon #retail #missiondriven #uncg #whatsnext #innovation #ingenuity #human #thoughleaders #brainstorming

That’s a leader.

“A&M” and other state #universities are often discounted, when compared to schools with more prestigious names. Please look at the value of these organizations for producing the next generations of problem-solvers. The ability for students take a wider variety of classes (than traditional majors and degrees) is critical for future solutions. And in-state costs are also needed for diversity and inclusion, which are also factors for our recovery and process.
