MISSION MOMENT:

CNBC’s “CITIES OF SUCCESS”

In April, Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain (JA) partnered with CNBC to host a panel featuring local entrepreneurs at the JA Free Enterprise Center. This event was in partnership with the network’s “Cities of Success” series which features communities with unique characteristics to attract major companies and nurture an entrepreneurial community around them. The second episode of the series focused on the Denver and Boulder area, and CNBC presented JA-Rocky Mountain President & CEO Robin Wise with a commemorative plaque as a tribute to JA’s work preparing today’s youth for a global economy.

CNBC Senior Personal Finance Correspondent Sharon Epperson visited the state-of-the-art Daniels Fund JA Dream Accelerator as students from five area high schools participated in the program. After observing and interviewing the students, the national news anchor moderated a live panel for the students featuring five local, notable entrepreneurs. Panelists shared personal journeys and actionable tips on what it takes to build a successful and meaningful business and answered questions from students. Journalism interns from NBCU Academy partner school Metropolitan State University of Denver volunteered and shadowed the CNBC production crew. The resulting news segmentaired on CNBC’s “Last Call” and was published on CNBC’s website.
