J4CG Program and JAG Specialists Awarded at the NTS Event

July 12, 2024

The JAG National Training Seminar (NTS) is the most extensive professional development experience for the JAG National Network. Members of JAG gain inspiration, deeper skill sets, and robust professional networks with leading JAG Specialists, managers, trainers, and administrators from across the United States.

The J4CG team attended the NTS event in Las Vegas, NV between July 8 and July 12, 2024. We are thrilled to announce that our J4CG team received the “Disrupter Award” during this event for empowering our JAG network through Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC) and increased student engagement across the state.

Congratulations to our JAG Specialists!

Our J4CG leadership team nominated and celebrated the "Outstanding JAG Specialist” for going above and beyond his role as specialist in support of our JAG students and staff. The outstanding JAG Specialist was recognized at the National level with a monetary award and certificate.

Our J4CG leadership team also nominated and celebrated the recognition of our JAG Specialists at the National level. Three of the JAG Specialists received the “JAG High Performer Award” for their extraordinary service to JAG and their positive impact on the J4CG Program.

During the NTS event Craig Beswick, Vice President, did two beautiful presentations on Trauma-Resilient Educational Communities (TREC), one for the JAG leadership team and another one for the JAG Specialists. Both presentations were very successful and many JAG programs throughout the US were very interested in our TREC Model. The flow of the presentations helped the audience understand the depth of the topic. The TREC presentations were both profound and inspirational.
