A special moment of leadership and transition for our League! ❤️

Pictured on the left, outgoing President Brooke Goldin, whose dedication, leadership, and countless contributions over the past two years have helped strengthen our League and leave a lasting impact. We are incredibly grateful for all she has done and thank her for her service.

Pictured on the right, incoming President Charlotte Porter, whose commitment and involvement have continued to grow since becoming an active member in 2021. Charlotte brings enthusiasm, strong leadership, and a clear vision for the future, and we are excited to see all that she will accomplish in her new role.

Please join us in thanking Brooke for her outstanding service and congratulating Charlotte as she begins this exciting new chapter of leadership.

We would like to thank the generous Sustainers that hosted events for their fellow Sustainer members this spring! With the help of these women, members and previous members have been able to reconnect.

We appreciate those of you who came out on April 21st to gather with Sustainers, active and previously active, at Wakonda for a happy hour.

Another big thanks to the 20 Past Presidents that gathered at Shayla From's home on May 5 to welcome our incoming President, Charlotte Porter.

For 95 years, Junior League of Des Moines has been powered entirely by volunteers.

We’re grateful to every past and present member who has given their time, talent, and energy to strengthen our mission and our community. Together, we’re creating meaningful change, and it wouldn’t be possible without you.

Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about how we show up every day. At our Junior League April meeting, we’re excited to welcome Kristen Boldt, a communication coach and trainer, as our guest presenter. She’ll share how a “spherical” perspective can help us better support our teams, build stronger systems, and lead with flexibility, adaptability, resilience, and responsiveness (FARR).

We hope to see you there!
