LAS VEGAS – Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada is proud to announce Elizabeth Delgado has joined its board of directors. She is a founder and private wealth advisor for Every Season Wealth Management. Her extensive experience in financial planning, strategic planning and relationship building and development will be invaluable in helping the nonprofit organization achieve its mission to empower K-12 youth to own their economic success.
“Through Elizabeth’s work in banking, investment management and financial planning and commitment to our mission-aligned values, her expertise and passion will make a significant impact as we grow our efforts to help more students learn about financial literacy, workforce development and entrepreneurship,” said Michelle Jackson, chief executive officer and president of Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada.
As a graduate of the Vegas Chamber’s Leadership Las Vegas program, she was able to learn more about Junior Achievement. She has volunteered with JA for years, in the classroom, at Finance Park, and with the 4.01K race, and fell in love with the nonprofit’s mission all over again.
She’s supported JA through various fundraisers, the annual Swimming with the Big Fish luncheon, and Finance Park, her favorite program that combines in-class learning with a hands-on budgeting simulation. She plans to increase her JA volunteerism and invite her Every Season Wealth Management team to join her.
Delgado also serves on the board for Scarlett Hope, a nonprofit organization that shares the hope and love of Jesus with women in the adult entertainment industry. She also sat on its Operations Board and held numerous volunteer positions from greeting, prayer, communion service, and lead study groups with Canyon Ridge Christian Church.
Born in Queens, New York, and raised in Southern California, Delgado studied finance at UNLV. She received the Accredited Asset Management Advisor and Accredited Wealth Management Advisor designations through the College of Financial Planning and is working on an Accredited Behavioral Financial Advisory designation.
