Here's How To:

Change your name, address or phone number: Report the change in writing to the League office by completing and e-mailing the Membership Status Change Form.

To change your membership status: Actives in good standing may change their status to: Senior Active, transfer, nonresident, inter-league, resignation, reinstatement. All requests must be made in writing to the League Office by completing and e-mailing the Membership Status Change Form. Changes in status affecting dues payment must be made on or before May 31. Resignations submitted between May 31 and August 31 will enable a member to resign in good standing only upon payment of AJLI dues for the coming year.

To secure a leave of absence: A request must be made in writing to the Active Council Coordinator.

To propose an applicant for membership: The JLC no longer requires sponsorship of new members. Membership applications are available through the Provisional Committee and the League office. Applications are available from the middle of April to the deadline of August 31.

To RSVP to a League event: Call the RSVP Line at 231-6300 x335. Speaking clearly, simply state your name and the event you will be attending. The date and time of your call will automatically be recorded.

To submit an article to The Update newsletter: All articles are due by the 1st of the month (to be published in the following month's newsletter). Notify the editor of your plans for the article. Have the article approved by your Council Coordinator. (For complete information see the Communications Section).

To have a League mailing: Call the Administrative Director to check availability of required services. Mailing labels and envelopes can be provided by the office. Postage for large 1st Class mailings is to be acquired by putting through a Check Request Form to the Finance Manager for the necessary amount of postage needed. Ultimately, each committee is responsible for their own mailings (folding, stapling, affixing labels and stamps or bundling for a bulk mailing). Contact the Administrative Director or the Administrative Vice President no less than (4) weeks before the mailing date. Large mailings are outsourced and will be arranged by the Administrative Director.

To register a comment or complaint: Call the Active Council Coordinator or leave your comment, suggestion or complaint on the Comment Line by calling 231-6300 x337.

To initiate a project: Ideas for new community projects can be submitted by printing out & completing a Project Proposal Form. During the year, any Junior League member or community organization interested in proposing a project may initiate the process through the Project Development Coordinator, who will give these project ideas to the Community Research and Development Committee (CRDC) for research and possible further project development. The CRDC will then work closely with the Project Assessment Committee (PAC) in the process of requesting funds and/or volunteers for the proposed project. PAC will work with the CRDC and evaluate each project utilizing criteria designed to ensure that JLC volunteer and financial resources are allocated so as to maximize our community impact. Key evaluative criteria include opportunities for membership involvement in leadership roles and a variety of participation strategies, including: direct service, public awareness, advocacy, and collaboration.

To apply for a leadership position within the JLC: Submit the “Leadership Candidate Questionnaire” portion of the Invitation to Leadership package to the Nominating Committee Chair by the December deadline, indicating the position in which you are interested. The Invitation to Leadership package will be available to all members during the early Fall.

To be considered for Chair of a Committee: Contact the Coordinator who is responsible for the committee and tell her you are interested, or talk to the Vice President/Trustee responsible for that committee. Complete the "Leadership Candidate Questionnaire” form when it is published.

To be considered for a Board Position: Self-submit your name on the straw ballot and submit the “Leadership Candidate Questionnaire” by the December deadline.
