Dear Friends,
I cannot believe summer is already nearing its end. I hope your summer has been full of fun, relaxation, and travel... and lots of air conditioning!
With the end of summer comes the start of a new season. As a child, I always looked forward to the feeling of a new school year approaching. The back-to-school clothing shopping, new school supplies, as well as the changing season of fall represented a special kind of optimism for all the new possibilities ahead.
I hope that the start of our new year in Junior League brings you a similar kind of optimism and excitement. Our leadership has been hard at work trying to set our League up for success, and we are grounding our efforts this year in member recruitment, education, and retention. This will be a season of change for the Junior League of Martin County, and I look forward to sharing some of these changes with you at our first General Membership Meeting (GMM) on Tuesday, September 19.
I am so looking forward to kicking off this new year with you all, starting with our Meet and Mingle recruitment event on Sunday, August 13 and Sunset at Sailor's, our annual kickoff party, on Wednesday, August 23. To participate, please make sure to pay your membership dues before the August 31 deadline. More information on upcoming events and dues are detailed below.
Gratefully,
Taylor Gilmour, MPP, CFRE
President

JLMC offers reimbursements to active members for qualified expenses throughout the year. If you ever use personal funds for JL expenses, please complete the Reimbursement Form stored on the JLMC Resources page of our Member Area, and secure the necessary signatures before submitting to treasurer@jlmcflorida.org. Checks are issued on the 15th and 30th of each month.
All reimbursements must be submitted within 60 days of the expense, or on May 30th of our fiscal year, whichever is sooner. Please note that it's not expected that any member uses their own funds for JL expenses. Vendor invoices can be submitted directly to treasurer@jlmcflorida.org.
Through hands-on training and formal learning opportunities we will give members the skills needed to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve.

We focus our community projects, training opportunities, fundraising, and advocacy on initiatives that fall into our impact areas: (1) Women; (2) Children; and (3) Civic Leadership.

League Success Manager
We are excited to share that AJLI has created League Success Managers (LSM) for all leagues. Our League's assigned LSM is a dedicated professional who will serve as a liaison, ambassador, resource, and educator between AJLI and JLMC. Her primary purpose is to provide unwavering support and guidance as we navigate the path to success. We are very optimistic that our new LSM will help connect the greater AJLI mission and resources with our League's strategic efforts at the local level.
Lean In Circles
We are also thrilled to announce the launching of Lean In Circles, in partnership with AJLI and Lean In. These small peer groups will focus on skill building, connection, and networking across all Junior Leagues! Topics covered during the Circles will range from work-life balance to negotiation strategy to inclusive leadership. This is a great tool to further our mission of advancing women's leadership and also to connect with members worldwide. Click Here to register.
