Message from President & CEO
Asheesh Advani
Welcome to the 2020 JA Asia Pacific Company of
the Year competition. I’m looking forward to
following your progress throughout this year’s
virtual event.
At every COY competition I’ve attended (both
in-person and online), I’m always impressed that
you, our JA students, are boundless, limitless, and
ready to change the world with your best ideas. I
see these qualities in action as you apply the critical
work skills you have learned and that have pre-
pared you for the careers and economies of today
and tomorrow. JA is more than just a training
ground for work. It’s a training ground for life.
At the end of this competition, you’ll be eligible to
join Gather, the JA Alumni Community, at ww-
w.gatheralumni.org. Here, you’ll join a global force
of more than 100 million passionate job creators,
committed to improving the lives of their fellow
humans, caring for our planet, giving back and
ensuring that the next generations of JA students
have access to the same opportunities that
changed your life. As a JA alumnus who started a
JA company many decades ago, I look forward to
seeing you there.
