The Career Development Conference allows JAG students to present their talents while competing in 11 different categories for financial prizes with their peers.
This year, the regional winners faced a new challenge of competing virtually by send their efforts in for judging.
Locally, Lawrenceburg High School Student, Eeve Williams, received 2nd place in the Writing Skills category.
