MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Hello everyone,

As we step into our 101st year, I am filled with pride and optimism for the future of the Junior League of Seattle. Celebrating our centennial last year was a remarkable milestone, and it served as a testament to the unwavering commitment, passion, and resilience of our members over the past century. Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we build on this legacy to ensure the Junior League of Seattle continues to thrive for another 100 years.

Our organization has always been dedicated to making a tangible impact in our community through service and by training women leaders. Over the years, our members have contributed countless hours to various initiatives, from supporting children and families to advocating for social justice and empowering women. These efforts have not only enriched the lives of those we serve but have also helped shape Seattle into the vibrant, inclusive city it is today.

The Junior League of Seattle is more than just a volunteer organization; it is a training ground for women leaders. We provide our members with the skills, experiences, and confidence needed to take on leadership roles both within and outside of the League. Our commitment to developing women leaders is unwavering, and we continue to offer a variety of programs and opportunities to help our members grow and succeed.

To our current members, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your dedication and hard work. You are the heart and soul of this organization, and it is your passion and commitment that drive us forward. Let's continue to work together, support one another, and strive to make a positive impact in our community. Your efforts are not only making a difference today but are also laying the foundation for the future.

I also want to extend a warm invitation to like-minded women who share our passion for service and leadership. If you are looking for a place where you can make a difference, develop your skills, and build lasting friendships, we encourage you to join us. The Junior League of Seattle is a welcoming and inclusive community where you can grow personally and professionally while making a meaningful impact.

Lastly, I would like to encourage other nonprofits and community organizations to partner with us. By working together, we can amplify our efforts and create lasting change in Seattle. Collaboration is key to addressing the complex challenges facing our community, and we are eager to build strong, mutually beneficial partnerships that will help us achieve our shared goals.

As we embark on this next chapter, I am confident that the Junior League of Seattle will continue to be a force for good in our community. Together, we can build a brighter future and ensure that our organization remains a cornerstone of service and leadership for many years to come.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Best,
