The Junior League is the premier source for civic leadership training and development opportunities for women who want to bring about lasting and significant change in their communities. We are continuing this endeavor with our 2017-2018 Speaker Series, which focuses on Employment Empowerment to help women become informed to correctly perceive and navigate their chosen employment paths.
