Leadership
Michael Frohna President - Leadership
When Michael first started his professional career, his passion for education had him interested in becoming a high school teacher. While he changed directions professionally, education remained a high priority and he became actively involved in education initiatives including Partners in Education (Green Bay), Business Education Alliance (Fox Cities) and several other education-focused organizations.
In 2017, after nearly 30 years of fundraising leadership experience within healthcare, higher education and health-related organizations, Michael became President at JA, where the mission was a perfect combination of his professional interests and personal passions. As President, Michael engages with every aspect of the organization, including working alongside a dedicated board of directors, volunteers, and team members. His greatest responsibility is to enable the forward momentum of JAs mission while preparing the organization and team for the future.
Outside of JA, Michael is drawn to the outdoors. He enjoys reading in a hammock, golfing and has a love-hate relationship with photography. In another life, he might have become an electrician or a plumber.

He is responsible for overseeing, planning, and implementing a comprehensive fundraising program that secures the financial resources from individuals, foundations, corporations, and others to support the JA mission.

Adam Sutter Regional Director Northeast Region - Leadership
After college, Adam sought to determine what he was passionate about and since then, he has been working for nonprofit organizations that fight cancer and others that help children, holding various fund development and leadership roles along the way.
It was his interest in business and entrepreneurship that brought Adam to JA in December of 2018, where he could pair those interests with an opportunity to work with kids and help them prepare for their futures.
As Regional Director for the Northeast Region of Wisconsin, Adam works with staff to raise funds and provide learning experiences for students across the region, and to keep JAs mission at the forefront; to inspire and prepare young people to succeed.
