“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and  become more, you are a leader.“

– John Quincy Adams

We are proud to honor Amy Shuart, chair of Resolution Read, as JLW Chair Extraordinaire. A fourth-year Active, Amy has risen to the challenge of managing a committee that is fully immersed in the goal of donating and distributing 100,000 books in honor of our centennial anniversary. With moving parts that include multiple projects, distributions, budget negotiations and more, Amy has demonstrated tremendous leadership and grace. Her can-do attitude is contagious and children across the city, as well as her committee members, are benefiting from her dedication. Congratulations, Amy, and keep up the good work!

Did you know there are more than 125 leadership positions in the JLW?  Each year, an amazing group of women answer the call to serve and their talent and skills form the support structure upon which our organization runs. Just as we value and appreciate your membership, we appreciate their service. The JLW Chair Extraordinaire is a new award for our Centennial year. Each month, council directors may nominate a leader for consideration and one chair will be recognized by the president.
