Exciting Leadership Transition at Junior Achievement of the Roaring Fork Valley!

After four incredible years as District Manager, Jake Lasko is transitioning back to his original role as an Advisory Board Member—where he first became involved with Junior Achievement. Jake’s leadership has been instrumental in advancing our mission, and we’re thrilled to have him continue supporting our work from this new perspective.

We’re equally excited to announce that Tess Vanderhoof, who has been with us since March 2022 as Program and Volunteer Coordinator, will be stepping into the role of District Manager!

Tess is eager to continue connecting with the Roaring Fork Valley community, deepening relationships with local schools, businesses, and volunteers. In addition, she’s passionate about expanding Junior Achievement’s reach across the Western Slope to inspire and prepare even more young people for success.

Please join us in celebrating Jake and Tess as they take on these new roles and continue to shape the future of Junior Achievement in our region!
