Admissions Philosophy

The responsibility for the future of the Junior League rests with its present members. To maintain the valued reputation of our organization and to continue our outstanding record of community service, obtaining new women for membership must be an important priority for each League member. Recognizing the qualities of leadership and community concern in others is the first step toward sustaining a vital League organization. We also value membership diversification as we believe it strengthens our Junior League. Even though the criteria for membership in the Junior League are high, the rewards are many.
