GLC Virtual Wrap-up

October 27, 2023

This past week was a whirlwind of learning, networking, and inspiration for JA staff around the world. Yesterday, we wrapped up the virtual edition of our Global Leadership Conference (GLC), the second time JA Worldwide has offered the event online. Building on the JA network’s history of international and national leadership conferences, GLC Virtual offered four days of functional training for JA staff around the world focusing on youth learning experiences, partnerships, marketing and brand, financial resilience, and so much more.

GLC Virtual wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thanks to Delta Air Lines, Z Zurich Foundation, and Sparks Wilson, P.C., JA Worldwide was able to make GLC Virtual available to more than 3,000 JA staff in 118 countries. (If you’ve ever thought of working for JA, here’s one more reason to apply next time you see an opening.)

Next up for our network? The in-person edition of GLC, our first since 2019, in Bangkok hosted by JA Thailand. Stay tuned for news and updates about GLC Bangkok. In the meantime, check out our summaries of all four days of GLC Virtual, below:
