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
www.cyberinnovationcenter.org
www.nicerc.org

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.”
Lori Greiner
