“Made in Jackson” issue 2024


For the Fall 2024 Journal, we’re inviting you to create it with us, for the second year in a row.

We want to know who your favorite Jackson makers are. 

Who are these makers? Makers are people who build our collective environment. They create innovative solutions to our most challenging problems. 
They might go unrecognized, but quietly build our collective Jackson identity behind the scenes.

Jackson makers make stuff happen.

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.
