As the 2025-26 ALl year comes to a close, we also celebrate the completion of JLM Sustainer Kathryn Koesselâs distinguished term on the AJLI Board of Directors.
For the past three years, Kathryn has served as an At-Large Director, bringing invaluable leadership, insight, and experience to the role. Drawing on her years of service with both JLM-including as JLM President in 2007-08âand the New York Junior League, Kathryn has been a thoughtful and trusted voice at the association level.
Reflecting on Kathrynâs impact, AJLI President Alice Glenn shared:
âKathryn has been an incredible asset to the AJLI Board of Directors. Her thoughtful attention to detail, quiet and strategic guidance, and calm demeanor have made her a trusted and important voice among the directors. I greatly value her insights and also appreciate her dry humor. I am grateful to the Junior League for the chance to know and work with leaders like Kathryn.â
Kathryn, thank you for your unwavering dedication, leadership, and service to JLM and the entire Association of Junior Leagues International. We are grateful for all you have contributed and proud to celebrate your lasting impact.
