How to Join |
The Junior League of Phoenix welcomes new members in
the late spring. Potential members can attend an
orientation night in the spring to learn more about
the benefits of membership. Membership in The Junior
League involves a time commitment and a financial
responsibility. If you are willing to learn, share
your expertise and work with others, membership in
The Junior League of Phoenix offers a beneficial and
enjoyable association. There are three categories of
membership: Provisional, Active and Sustainer. |
 |
The
Provisional
Provisional Members are women in their first year of
membership. The Provisional course is a required period
of orientation. The JLP year begins May 1 and the Provisional course
concludes at the end of March. The Provisional course
provides education, training about the structure of The
Junior League of Phoenix and our role in the community.
Provisional members also have the opportunity to
participate in "hands-on" activities, fundraising events
and several social activities throughout the year.
Successful completion of the Provisional course prepares
Provisional Members for Active membership in one of the
many Junior League committees.
The Active
Active Members are women who have successfully completed
the provisional course. Active members have the
opportunity to serve on a wide range of League
committees, to vote and to hold office.
The Sustainer
Sustaining Members are former active Members that act as
a support group for the League. Many Sustaining members
serve in an advisory capacity. Sustaining members hold
separate meetings and social events and share in all of
the privileges of League membership except voting and
holding office.
