Cardinal iJAG students attended the iJAG Leadership Development Conference held at the Iowa Events Center on November 3, 2023. They were given the opportunity to attend VP training for their specific VP offices with others in their same roles throughout the state. These kids did an amazing job and represented Cardinal in a very impactful way.
