Make magic aplenty this holiday season. #SeasonsGreetings #HolidayMagic

Practicing the art of thankfulness. Today, and every day. #Gratitude #Thankfulness #Thanksgiving

Always thankful we’re able to support our community. #Fulfillment #PAL #TurkeyDay8K

Success is built on opportunity. The ones we take and, more significantly, the ones we provide to others. The Johnson Group's founders, Susu and George Dean Johnson Jr., have been creating opportunities for more than 50 years. Yesterday was an especially fulfilling moment as we watched them invest in the potential of high-achieving, under-resourced students through the Meeting Street Scholarship Fund.   The Johnsons' generosity makes an affordable college education a reality for deserving students across Spartanburg County. #MeetingStreetScholarships #InvestInTheFuture #Fulfillment 

The Johnson Group marks Veterans Day in a meaningful way. After recognizing employees and their loved ones who have served in the #UnitedStatesArmedForces, featured Veterans from across our family of companies share how their military experience impacts their civilian careers. This year’s program was emceed by Lee LaPorte (U.S. Air Force), senior director of infrastructure at American Credit Acceptance. Speakers were Gosia Graves (South Carolina State Guard), paralegal at Johnson Development Associates, Inc.; Jacob Collins (U.S. Coast Guard), revenue management analyst at OTO Development; and Keba Moore (U.S. Army and Army Reserves), funding specialist at American Credit Acceptance. We thank these Veterans for their service to our country and, now, to our companies. #VeteransDay #VeteransDay24 #ServiceAndSacrifice #Gratitude

We celebrate our Veterans' service and sacrifice. Today, and every day.    #VeteransDay #VeteransDay24 #Patriotism #Gratitude #TodayAndEveryDay

Exciting news! Rob Rain, JDA’s former President of our Industrial division, has assumed a new role as Chief Executive Officer at our sister company, OTO Development. In light of this transition, we are pleased to announce two key leadership changes at JDA: Blake Spencer, who has been instrumental as our Chief Financial Officer, will step into the role of President of Industrial. In this position, Blake will leverage his strategic vision and financial expertise to drive growth and lead the division through its next phase of development. Blake has been a tremendous asset to the company in his role as CFO, and we are confident that his leadership will bring continued success to the Industrial division. We are equally excited to welcome Brooks Cochran as our new Chief Financial Officer. Brooks’ tenure at JDA has been marked by significant achievements in his prior roles as Director of Operations for the Industrial division and Director of Finance. His comprehensive experience, both in finance and operations, and his work at our sister company, American Credit Acceptance, provide him with a unique perspective to guide JDA’s financial strategy. We are confident Brooks’ leadership will ensure our continued financial health, stability, and growth. We look forward to the continued success and leadership that Rob, Blake, and Brooks will bring in their respective new roles!
