President’s Message
Welcome to the Junior League of Longview’s 2023-2024 year!
Welcome to the Junior League of Longview! I am honored to be representing the League as its 84th President. We have made great strides to get back to our pre-pandemic way of operating and are making some exciting changes this year! The League is working with other community organizations to create new and bring back old programs we have facilitated in the past. I am so excited to see how many women and children we can impact with our efforts.
In November we will debut a brand-new holiday market fundraiser, Christmas in the Piney Woods. This is sure to be a fun holiday event while raising funds that the League will put right back into the community through our programs and volunteers. In the spring we will once again host our annual Girl Empowerment event where we aim to empower the young ladies in our community to become future leaders. It’s shaping up to be another great year!
To the ladies who are already members of the League, I hope you meet new people, make new friendships, step out of your box, ask questions, and get involved! We are the leaders of our community, and I implore you to lead with grace – with empathy and inclusion – making others feel welcome along the way.
To the potential new members out there, I hope you consider joining us! I would love to meet you at one of our recruitment events this year.
Here’s to year 84!
Cheers,
Jessica Hughes
President, 2023-2024
