Todd Leveen, senior vice president at The Biltmore Bank of Arizona, was recently appointed to the Junior Achievement of Arizona central district board of directors.
After volunteering for Junior Achievement’s signature JA BizTown program in the late 1980s, Leveen has continued his involvement with the organization ever since. He has also helped develop financial literacy programs directly for some Arizona schools, leveraging his master’s degree in curriculum instruction and design.
“Todd’s educational, work and service background is a wonderful fit for our board,” said Katherine Cecala, president of Junior Achievement of Arizona. “His passion, as well as his expertise, shines through when he’s working with students and educators.”
As part of his duties on the Junior Achievement board, Leveen serves on the JA Stock Market Challenge committee, which organizes an inter-school mock stock trading competition. He also helps with fundraising, board member and sponsor recruitment and promoting Junior Achievement in the Phoenix community.
Biltmore Bank staffers Jeremy King, Nathaniel Spatz, Paul Brodt, Bryan Ellisore and Desirae Outcalt also volunteer with Junior Achievement of Arizona, and King serves on Junior Achievement’s JA You’re Hired committee.
“Our entire organization, from the top down, has been extremely supportive of Junior Achievement of Arizona and of those of us taking time to help with and promote financial literacy programs for area youth,” said Leveen.
Leveen, a resident of Cave Creek, also financially supports Horizon High School Boosters and Jewish Tuition Organization.
