A Message from the Honorary Chairman 

It is my honor to serve as chairman for this year’s Junior 

Achievement, Business Hall of Fame Laureate Induction 

Dinner. Thank you for joining me in recognizing the 2018 

JA Laureates: William H. Broyles, II, Scott P. Sealy, Sr. and 

Craig C. Spohn. Your presence here tonight honors our new 

Laureates as well as our community’s outstanding Junior 

Achievement program. 

Junior Achievement provides a crucial service educating the 

youth of our community in the areas of financial literacy, work 

readiness and entrepreneurship. JA is located in 117 nations 

throughout the world and is the largest organization dedicated 

to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to 

plan for their futures and make smart academic and economic 

choices. 

Studies show that most parents do not feel qualified to talk to 

their children about money and many are unable to help them 

prepare for the world of work. In a world where our financial 

lives are becoming more complicated and opportunities to 

George D. Nelson, Jr., 

2012 JA Laureate 

spend money far outweigh information on managing it; this organization is bridging a 

critical educational gap. Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, handson 

experience—lessons that connect real life business with education. Students who are 

the beneficiaries of the JA program are equipped with the tools they need to change their 

dreams into reality and aspire to become successful citizens in the 21st century workforce. 

With the support of JA Laureates, business leaders, and friends, tonight’s Laureate 

Induction Dinner will provide 20% of the annual program budget—clearly a tremendous 

return on investment. Thank you again for your generosity and your steadfast commitment 

to today’s youth and our community’s future. You are changing lives!

A Message from the Chairman of the Board 

Tonight’s event is Junior Achievement’s major fundraiser that 

helps to provide area students lessons in financial literacy, workreadiness 

and entrepreneurship. On behalf of JA and our Board 

of Directors, I thank you for attending tonight’s fundraiser and 

investing in Junior Achievement’s mission. First, I would like to 

congratulate our 2018 JA Laureates, William H. Broyles, II, Scott 

P. Sealy, Jr., and Craig C. Spohn and thank them for their support 

to ensure the continued growth of Junior Achievement programs 

in our community. I also want to thank the JA Board of Directors 

and all of the Junior Achievement Laureates for their continued 

investment in JA. As you know, an investment is different than a 

gift—when you invest, you expect a return. I would like to share a 

quick report concerning your return on investment regarding 

JA’s performance last year. 

Josh O. Clayton 

During the 2017-18 academic year, JA engaged over 500 volunteers 

who taught 9,177 students, totaling 48,920 student contact hours 

in 394 classrooms, plus seven educational events hosted by 

Junior Achievement. For the past 5 years, JA of North Louisiana 

has remained in the top third of national performers, receiving 

recognition from Junior Achievement USA as a 5 STAR Award 

recipient. We can all be proud of our community for helping Junior 

Achievement of North Louisiana be among the best JA programs 

in the nation. Thank you to those who have continued to invest 

in JA’s mission to empower young people to own their economic 

success. 

I also want to commend our director, Nita Cook. Under her 

leadership, the services provided by this organization have had 

significant annual increases. Through innovative partnerships 

with business leaders and organizations, JA mentors will continue 

to inspire more young people to set goals for a successful 

future! Thank you again and congratulations to our 2018 Junior 

Achievement Business Hall of Fame Laureates!

BILL, WE’RE INSPIRED BY 

YOUR LEADERSHIP 

THE BROYLES GROUP

William H. Broyles, II, was born on November 24, 1953, 

in Leesville, Louisiana. He graduated from Leesville 

High School in 1971 and enrolled in Centenary College. 

He also attended Southern Methodist University in 

Dallas as well as LSU in Baton Rouge. He received his 

Bachelor of Science from Centenary College, where he 

served as president of the Epsilon chapter of Kappa 

Sigma fraternity. He later received his Masters from the 

Owen Business School of Vanderbilt University. 

Mr. Broyles began his career in the hospitality business, 

serving as general manager of a hotel and golf course. 

He then moved into real estate development and was 

primarily involved in developing single family lots and 

residences in the Shreveport market. His real estate 

experience led him to purchasing and managing multifamily 

complexes and strip shopping centers. 

William H. Broyles 

In 1997, he and a group of investors purchased Pelstate Oil Company, a chain of 30 

convenience stores. This business was expanded into fuel distribution and bulk fueling 

beginning with farms and construction sites in northwest Louisiana. Pelstate then became 

involved in the oil field, primarily providing fuel for oil rigs, service yards, and pressure 

pumping operations. Pelstate is active throughout the major oil and gas fields in the 

south and southwest of the country. 

Mr. Broyles later purchased a third party logistics and warehousing company, Monroe 

Warehouse Company, with facilities in Louisiana and Arkansas. Monroe Warehouse 

Company specializes in supply chain management and primarily serves the paper and 

packaging industry with distribution throughout the nation. The finished products range 

from beer and soft drink cartons to tissue, cereal and candy boxes. Mr. Broyles owned and 

operated a tire retreading company serving over the road transportation companies with 

national operations and has ownership interest in various other businesses. 

Civically, Mr. Broyles has been involved with various non-profit boards. He was on the 

board of the YMCA where he was part of a small group instrumental in building the BHP 

Billiton YMCA located in east Shreveport. He has also served on the Board of Trustees 

for Centenary College, the board of the Norwela Council of the Boy Scouts of America, 

the Committee of 100, and several non-profits located in the mountains of western North 

Carolina, where he spends most summers. 

Mr. Broyles was also active in coaching both basketball and baseball for his children’s 

team. He served as president of the Shreveport Futbol Club and several social clubs in 

Shreveport. He is also active in multiple Bible study groups and attends First Presbyterian 

Church with his wife, Nancy. 

Mr. and Mrs. Broyles have been married for 38 years and have been blessed with four 

children: Will Broyles, Jim Broyles, Becky Broyles and Ginny Lamb.

Thank you 

CRaig 

Spohn 

for your commitment to 

cyber 

education

Craig Spohn was born at Randolph Air Force Base in 

San Antonio, Texas, to a Master Sargent in the United 

States Air Force and his wife. The family, including 

Craig’s two older sisters, then moved to Bossier City in a 

home close to Barksdale Air Force Base. Craig graduated 

from Parkway High School in 1979 and went on to earn 

a degree in finance from Louisiana State University in 

Shreveport in 1987. 

Due to a lack of jobs in the Shreveport-Bossier City 

area, Craig continued in the oil field until he was offered 

a position as an accounts payable clerk at Science 

Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Moving 

up the corporate ladder, Craig and his family moved 

frequently to places such as Atlanta, Georgia; Fairfax, Craig Spohn 

Virginia; and Knoxville, Tennessee. The family stayed 

the longest, six years, in Saudi Arabia, where Craig 

served as Vice President of Middle East Operations and 

General Manager of the SAIC joint venture with a prince of the Saudi royal family. After 

deciding it was time to move back to the United States, Craig, his wife Stacy, and their 

children returned home to Shreveport-Bossier City. 

With his background in technology, Craig helped set up a local company’s technology 

division. He also volunteered to serve on community boards. One board focused on a 

community response to the United States Air Force’s cyber needs. This culminated in 

the creation of what is now the Cyber Innovation Center, which Craig was asked to lead. 

As Executive Director of the Cyber Innovation Center for the last eleven years, Craig has 

helped facilitate economic growth both in the local region and across the country, creating 

thousands of jobs for the region, and provided a solution to educational and workforce 

needs in the budding cyber industry through the creation of the National Integrated Cyber 

Education Research Center (NICERC) and other cyber education and training programs. 

Craig, through the Cyber Innovation Center, continues to expand the knowledge-based 

economy in Northwest Louisiana through partnerships with academic, government, and 

industry partners. These unique partnerships seek to develop workforce needs beyond the 

cyber industry, supporting Air Force Global Strike Command’s nuclear modernization and 

strategic deterrence revitalization. 

In 2017, Governor John Bel Edwards appointed Craig as Chairman of the Louisiana Cyber 

Commission to coordinate state-wide cyber initiatives. Previously, Craig was appointed 

by Governor Bobby Jindal to lead the state-wide higher education transition team. One 

of Craig’s most prized accomplishments is the honorary doctorate bestowed upon him by 

President Les Guice of Louisiana Tech University. 

Craig hopes that these efforts will culminate in a legacy for Louisiana, particularly the 

Northwest region, and will allow students and residents to remain in the region and 

develop economic diversity for generations.

ELEMENTARY PROGRAMS 

JA Ourselves ® 

JA Ourselves uses storybooks and hands-on activities to 

introduce the role people play in an economy. Through 

engaging, volunteer-led activities, young students learn 

about individual choices, the importance of saving and 

giving, and the value of work. 

JA Our Families ® 

JA Our Families explains how family members’ 

professions contribute to the well-being of the family and 

of the community. The program introduces the concept 

of needs and wants, explores the ways families plan for 

and acquire goods and services, and analyzes their skills 

to determine ways they can support their families. 

JA Our Community ® 

JA Our Community uses posters and games to offer 

practical information about businesses and the many jobs 

those businesses offer in a community. Students explore 

production methods through a simulation game, and 

learn about taxes, decision making, and how money flows 

in an economy. 

“If you are planning for a 

year, sow rice; if you are 

planning for a decade, 

plant trees; if you are 

planning for a lifetime, 

educate people.” 

Chinese Proverb 

JA Our City ® 

JA Our City introduces students to the characteristics 

of cities and how cities are shaped by zoning. Students 

learn the importance of money to a city; how financial 

institutions help businesses and city residents; and how 

the media is an integral part of a city’s life; and the role of 

an entrepreneur. 

JA Our Region ® 

JA Our Region introduces students to entrepreneurship 

and how entrepreneurs use resources to produce goods 

and services in a region. Students operate a hypothetical 

hot dog stand to understand the fundamental tasks of a 

business owner and basic operations of the business. 

JA Our Nation ® 

JA Our Nation provides practical information about the 

need for employees who can meet the demands of the 21st 

century job market. Students will understand the skills, 

especially in science, technology, engineering, and math, 

necessary to achieve future success.

MIDDLE SCHOOL 

PROGRAMS 

JA Global Marketplace ® 

JA Global Marketplace takes students on a spin around 

the world. Students learn the products they use every 

day, like their backpacks and sneakers, might use raw 

material from one country, be assembled in another, 

and sold from Peking to Chicago. The program helps 

students understand how goods flow through various 

economies and the effect globalization has on their lives. 

JA It’s My Future ® 

JA It’s My Future provides practical information about 

preparing for the working world. Students learn about 

career clusters, high-growth jobs, career planning, and 

creating a personal brand. And, through a scavenger 

hunt, they are introduced to the basic aspects of job 

hunting. 

JA Economics for Success ® 

JA Economics for Success gives the students the 

information needed to build strong personal finances, 

a cornerstone to a happy, secure life. Students learn 

the importance of exploring career options based on 

their skills, interests, and values. They also learn about 

personal budgeting; wisely saving and investing; and 

cautiously using credit. 

JA Job Shadow 

JA Job Shadow prepares students to be entrepreneurial 

thinkers in their approach to work. In-class sessions 

prepare students for a visit to a college campus. 

Students learn how to research academic and career 

opportunities and develop the skills needed to land and 

keep their dream job. 

“Children are the world’s 

most valuable resource 

and its best hope for the 

future.” 

John F. Kennedy

HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS 

JA It’s My Business ® 

JA It’s My Business! Blended Model provides middle 

school students an opportunity to experience the 

initial steps necessary to start a business. New 

program content provides an authentic entrepreneurial 

experience for students, with each session building up 

to a product-pitch competition. 

JA Personal Finance ® 

JA Personal Finance explores the fundamental 

elements of personal finances: earnings, savings and 

investments, budgeting, credit, risk management, and 

giving. Students apply these elements to a personal 

financial plan that allows them to set specific goals for 

their lifelong financial needs and desired quality of life. 

JA Career Success ® 

JA Career Success equips students with the knowledge 

required to get and keep a job in high-growth 

industries. Students will explore the crucial workplace 

skills employers seek but often find lacking in young 

employees. Students also learn about valuable tools to 

find that perfect job, including resumes, cover letters, 

and interviewing techniques. 

JA Inspires ® 

This work-readiness initiative utilizes the JA Job 

Shadow in-class curriculum to prepare students for a 

visit to a professional workplace environment. Students 

will navigate a series of challenges administered by 

their hosts. After the site visit, students gather with 

community citizens and business leaders for the 

JA Inspires: Student & Mentor Lunch. Following 

an exercise in introductions and shaking hands as 

well as business etiquette, roundtable discussions 

teach students to use critical thinking, creativity, 

communication, and collaboration skills to complete 

worksheets with their mentors. They explore needs and 

wants, ethics in business, and interview skills. Students 

leave with a clearer understanding of resume building 

and an increased understanding of the importance of 

staying in school. 

“Entrepreneurship is 

the way we take 

control of our lives in a 

tough economy.”
