Junior League of Collin County (JLCC)

Happy New League Year 🎉🎉! Today we celebrate and look forward to the beginning of our 2024-2025 #JLCollinCounty year with our new President, Heather Webb! "As members, each of us brings individual strengths, skills and experiences to our League that will ensure that JLCC continues to serve its mission and build off the dedicated work of the impactful women leaders that came before us. In thinking about my theme, I knew there was only one symbol I wanted to be my guiding star for myself and JLCC this upcoming year. A key 🗝️. To me keys symbolize responsibility. Keys help provide a solution. Keys are all unique in their design and what doors and opportunities they open. JLCC is the key 🗝️ to leaving positive community change in Collin County. And our members are the true key 🗝️. The key to our longevity and success, the key to our community impact and the key in helping us drive JLCC towards our mission. So, this year we are going to 'key into what’s important.' Thank YOU for continuing to support the League in our mission, vision and core values. I look forward to serving you this year. ”

Please help us give a round of applause for our 2023-2024 President, Renée Gately! 👏👏👏 Thank you, Renee, for your steadfast service and passion this past year and helping make the Junior League of Collin County BLOOM🌸! Like Renee discussed at our May General Membership Meeting & President's Dinner, the Board of Directors this year has focused their work on "JLCC's strategic garden." Choosing the varietals, and planting the seeds that will grow for years to come through the strategic work they did. This work includes the adoption of a 5-year strategic plan with JLCC's updated mission statement and four key strategic directions which focus on member experience, community impact, financial security and operational efficiency. #JLCollinCounty is grateful to have volunteer leaders like Renee who are continually striving to make JLCC and our community better!
