In recent weeks, our JAG students have been busy with the start of the new school year. One of the first tasks each group completes is selecting and installing new officers for their Career Association.

Ceremonies introducing the new officers were held for all of the JAG groups in our region.

The JAG officers play an important role in the leadership of the program. Each Career Association selects the officers/roles that best suit their specific Association.

Vice President of Leadership - 2nd in command. They act as the president when the president is not available. They act as mentor to all JAG students and assist the president with conducting meetings.
