At Wilmot Modular Structures, we’re proud to support initiatives that inspire and empower future leaders. On Thursday, November 14, 2024, our Wilmot lady ambassadors proudly represented us at the Junior Achievement (JA) Leading Ladies Event held at the Stanley Black & Decker Learning Center in Baltimore.
What is Junior Achievement of Central Maryland?
Junior Achievement (JA) of Central Maryland is a nonprofit organization dedicated to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices. By connecting students with business and community leaders, JA inspires the next generation through hands-on learning experiences focused on work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.
About the Event
This inspiring event brought together an incredible group of Baltimore-area businesswomen and high school students for a dynamic morning filled with motivational speakers, interactive skill-building sessions, and valuable networking opportunities. The goal? To empower young women to dream big, lead with confidence, and envision a bright future full of possibilities.
The JA Leading Ladies Event celebrates the achievements and potential of women at all stages of life. It provides a unique platform for today’s female leaders to connect with the next generation, sharing experiences, insights, and inspiration.
A Lifelong Impact
Here’s a powerful statistic: one in five JA students goes on to pursue a career in the same field as their JA mentor. This means that the connections and inspiration shared during events like JA Leading Ladies can have a profound, lifelong impact on these students' futures.
We’re incredibly grateful to our Wilmot lady ambassadors for contributing their time and talents to this meaningful event. Their dedication to supporting and mentoring the next generation of female leaders exemplifies the values we hold dear at Wilmot Modular. Together, we’re building not just modular spaces but also the confidence and dreams of tomorrow’s leaders. Thank you for helping pave the way for the future!
Here’s what our Wilmot Lady Ambassadors had to say about this inspiring day:

It was powerful to say the least, and I’m grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend. - Kim, Transportation & Service Manager
