President’s Message
Welcome to the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale (JLGFL), a women-led nonprofit dedicated to volunteerism, leadership development, and community impact.
For more than 85 years, JLGFL has been a driving force for positive change in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. We are part of a global movement of women leaders advancing civic engagement and philanthropy. As President, I am honored to continue our mission of empowering women, developing leaders, and transforming our community.
Leading with Purpose
My journey with the Junior League began in 2018, and I’ve had the privilege of serving in various leadership roles that deepened my appreciation for the strength and vision of our members. JLGFL is more than a volunteer organization—it’s a place where women grow, lead, and create lasting impact. Whether we’re advocating for foster youth aging out of the system, fighting food insecurity, or collaborating with local nonprofits, JLGFL is at the forefront of meaningful change.
