The primary purpose of the FNBCC JBOD program is to educate leaders among high school seniors in banking and financial literacy, gaining experience in business meeting procedures and group leadership. It is intended to develop leaders that have a concern for the future of Douglas and Coffee County through a better awareness of prevalent local economics.
The FNBCC JBOD met on a monthly basis throughout the year and, during this time, worked on various projects including a custom financial literacy presentation for their classmates, while learning essential business and leadership skills & knowledge.
