By Staff Report-
Officials at the state level have asked Hailey to act as a delegate. She will be one of two students from Indiana who will act as an ambassador for the competitors, according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
The National Career Development Conference (NCDC) is the annual highlight event, providing an opportunity for all National Career Association members to participate in general sessions, competitive events, educational workshops, leadership development training and college and career exploration. The NCDC also serves as a recognition opportunity for NCA members to demonstrate the competencies gained in the classroom through the NCA National Recognition and Competitive Events Program and participation in other NCDC activities.
As a delegate, Booher will act as a representative of the National Career Association members and assist with various duties during the event. Booher shared that she is excited to meet new people at the conference and recognizes that this is a rare opportunity. She said, “It’s an honor that they think that I’m a good representative of JAG. I’m very excited for the conference!”
Booher shared that her involvement with JAG (Jobs for America's Graduates) has helped her learn valuable time management skills and gain real-world experience in the community. It also allowed her to participate in regionals and state, which led to her nomination for the National Leadership Conference in Florida. Booher was originally recognized as the outstanding senior in the JAG regional competition and went on to place in the top three at the state level.
After graduation, Booher will be attending Depauw University, where she has been awarded a full tuition scholarship for four years as part of the Rector Scholars program. Hailey will be majoring in psychology. In addition to her academic interests, Booher is also involved in human services, enjoys playing unified sports and playing in a classic rock band with her friends.
