Junior League of
Women Volunteers-Portland
Oregon
Since its founding in 1910, the Junior League of
Portland has served the needs of the community while educating and developing volunteer leaders in the Portland area— over one hundred years dedicated to irreplaceable community programs and committed voluntarism.
The Junior League has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make our community a healthier, more vital place to live. Junior League members, reflecting a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and professional pursuits, work together to identify unmet needs, forge effective coalitions, and work for change.
The Junior League of Portland was excited to host the NW
Exchange 2012 Conference, a training event for Junior League members at the Portland
Marriott Downtown Waterfront on Friday 3/9/2012 - Sunday 3/11/2012.
Katie Harman Ebner (
Miss America 2002) and
Allison Clarke (multi-talented professional consultant & author) challenged delegates to rise to the occasion and influence positive changes in our communities.
