NEW VISION ADOPTED AT 87TH AJLI ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The 87th Annual Conference in Altanta was a historic meeting and marked an important new chapter in Junior League history. At the Annual Meeting, which took place on the Saturday of the conference, delegates approved a proposed bylaw change regarding electronic voting, rescinded the previous AJLI Vison Statement AND adopted a new Vision Statement:
"The Junior League: Women Around the World as Catalysts for Lasting Community Change."
"The new Vision Statement represents both a call to action to prospective members and an inspired invitation to existing members to re-engage. In the true spirit of Mary Harriman, it encourages us to seize new opportunities to address issues critical to members at a local level as well as matters of global concern. And, finally, it positions us to refocus our Association's purpose to generate lasting community change and move forward in the 21st Century through the leadership of trained volunteers.
From here, AJLI - with the help of consultants from the Monitor Institute, a prominent think tank and consulting firm with substantial nonprofit experience- will develop a new AJLI Strategic Plan. This will be a highly interactive process, with ample opportunity for Junior League leader and member involvement and input throughout the summer and early fall. Conversations about the bright future of the Junior League Movement will continue at AJLI's Fall Leadership Conference in Denver in October.
Be sure to go to www.ajli.org to view the video about our new Vision Statement. It was recorded on site in Atlanta immediately following the Annual Meeting.
