Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’m excited to be serving as a Membership Committee Co-Chair for the Junior League of Greater Elmira-Corning this year!
I joined the League during the 2022–2023 year after being invited by my co-chair, Erica. At the time, I didn’t know much about the Junior League. I was simply looking to build a network of more like-minded people and maybe make a few new friends along the way.
I’ve been inspired by the women I’ve connected with and the work we’re doing throughout our community. Getting the chance to learn more about the place we live while making a difference and giving back to those who need it most has been incredibly rewarding.
I’ve had the opportunity to be part of projects like Hampers of Hope, our New Member Class initiative supporting women transitioning out of domestic violence situations, as well as our diaper drives supporting local families. Each experience has given me another perspective on the needs in our community and another reason to be grateful for the women I get to work alongside.
Serving as a board member has also pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best ways. The League has helped me develop my leadership and organizational skills while giving me opportunities for personal growth — all while giving back to my community and growing my circle of friends.
This year, as Membership Committee Co-Chair, I’m looking forward to meeting more women and simply helping them learn about what the League is all about. If our mission speaks to you, I’d love to meet you and tell you more about JLGEC!
Join us for our Open House on October 14 from 5:30–7:30 PM. Stop by to meet me and other League members, ask questions, and learn more about the League in a relaxed, informal setting. No sitter? No problem! Littles are welcome to stop by, and are often able to attend our various events.
