Community Advisory Committee

The Community Advisory Committee is a diverse group of community representatives whose purpose is to assist and advise the Junior League.  Eight community leaders serve on a staggered term basis and are selected for one-year terms with membership limited to three consecutive terms.  The League Accountant and Attorney are considered Permanent Members.

The Community Advisory Committee enhances the League by:

  • Communicating the League’s purposes and programs to the community
  • Increasing the League’s visibility, credibility, and importance in the community
  • Assessing and advising on community needs and resources
  • Providing feedback from another perspective
  • Counseling the Board on specific issues facing the League
  • Assisting in strategic planning and program development

Meet our current Community Advisory Committee members.  Please take time to get to know these area leaders and League supporters.
