Moses, President of Strathmore Paper Company, JA has contributed to the economic and business education of young people in the United States and over 123 countries worldwide including the Cayman Islands. Over 245,000 volunteers contribute their time to JA. The JA programme was established in the Cayman Islands in 1991 by the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman Central and is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors with financial support from numerous businesses throughout the islands. In JA, senor students gain practical business experience and insight into the complexities of economics by actually organizing and operating their own business. This programme inspires and empowers students to believe in themselves. Management-consulting assistance is provided by volunteer adult advisors from local businesses. The students of JA, produced the original and first four editions of this book. We hope that you will enjoy their product and hope it will bring you satisfaction for many years.
