President's Message

Dear Friends,
 
What a great winter the Junior League of Martin County is having! As we approach a new season, I must express my enthusiastic gratitude for the wonderful turnout of attendance and participation in our League since our Virtual Town Hall. Each of you is what makes our organization so special and I am so pleased to see the kind of engagement that's needed for JLMC to succeed. Thank you!
 
In 2022, we initiated a five-year plan to add at least 15 new members annually. By 2027, with current members retained and new members joined, our goal is to bring our active roster back up to over 100 members. I am so proud to share that we have gained 13 new members in this league year thus far. With Membership's continued efforts and your support, I'm confident we will reach our goal before the end of the year on May 31. Thank you to all who help recruit and retain our membership, and thank you to all our new members for volunteering your time, treasure, and talents to our nonprofit.
 
As a reminder from previous communications, our leadership is always trying to improve our processes to create the best experience for members. In this effort, we implore you to share your feedback and ideas with your assigned Advisor so we can learn what's working well and what has room for improvement.
 
Please plan on attending the March General Membership Meeting (GMM), which will also be our annual voting meeting. The slate of officers and proposed bylaw amendments were shared last month. Quorum is required to have the vote, so your attendance is very important! Please reach out to Jacqueline Kenna at Advisory@jlmcflorida.org with any questions.
 
I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter. You'll notice this monthly communication has been updated to welcome our newest members and celebrate our recent activities.
 
Gratefully,
Taylor Gilmour, MPP, CFRE

The Junior League of Martin County
