Welcome to a Milestone Year for the Junior League of Collin County!

As your new President, it is an honor to welcome you to a new League year — one that is especially meaningful. This year, we celebrate the Junior League of Collin County’s 50th Anniversary of service to our community. For five decades, our members have championed volunteer leadership, launched impactful community initiatives, and invested time, talent, and resources to make Collin County stronger. We stand on the shoulders of visionary women who built this organization and together we will carry that legacy forward.

Our anniversary theme “Honoring Our Legacy; Re-imagining Our Future“ will guide our work and vision for this year. You will see it reflected across our training, placements, community partnerships, and signature events. We will commemorate our history, highlight the milestones and members who shaped our League, and invest in the next generation of women leaders who will meet the needs of tomorrow.

Here’s a sampling of what to expect as we begin:

• Renewed focus on member experience with flexible ways to serve, learn, and connect.
• Robust training that develops leadership skills you can use in the League, at work, and in life.
• 50th Anniversary celebrations and storytelling that captures our shared legacy.
• Learning through the “Every Woman All Things” movement launched by AJLI how to restore balance, reclaim well-being, and reimagine life where role strain, role conflict, and burnout are no longer the cost of being everything to everyone.

Whether you are in the New Member class, an Active member, or a Sustainer, you are essential to our mission. Your voice, your perspective, and your energy matter. I invite you to engage fully — step into leadership, mentor a fellow member, raise your hand for a new challenge, and share your ideas. This is your League and this is your year to grow, serve, and lead.

Thank you for the many ways you show up for each other and for our community. I am grateful to serve alongside you and excited for all we will accomplish together in this landmark year.

With appreciation and anticipation,
Amy Clendening-Wheeler
President, Junior League of Collin County
