2023: New Member and Recruiting Teams

The Junior League of Palo Alto - Mid Peninsula created New Member and Recruiting Teams in 2021 under the leadership of New Member/Recruiting Chair, Andrea Ressi. These Teams worked to meet their strategic goals of engaging and educating the community, recruiting and retaining new members and supporting new members as they transitioned to active by leveraging social media and inviting women to be a part of their Junior League movement, taking advantage of existing affinity group events, new member events, and all league events as recruiting events, creating fun, cultivated experiential events like retreats and training to celebrate the efforts of their New Member classes, and finally, fostering mentorship and community. The results speak for themselves, in two years, 59 new members have joined the JLPA•MP, and the retention rate of members in the past two years is at 98%.
