2024 Division 4: Leadership Institute Committee
The Junior League of Washington is dedicated to cultivating leadership skills among its members through their Leadership Institute Committee. This committee collaborates with other JLW Leadership to develop and coordinate programs and resources aimed at enhancing leadership capabilities among the more than 140 current and future JLW leaders. This committee also oversees the JLW Leadership Institute curriculum, which includes managing the League’s Get on Board (GOB) training, Summer and Mid-Year Training Sessions, and creating additional trainings, workshops, and seminars as needed. JLW’s leadership training focuses on multiple areas necessary for non-profit and League leadership development, including competencies and skills in areas such as collaboration and negotiation, commitment to diversity and inclusion, effective resource utilization, logistics management, relationship building and networking, and strategic thinking. These skills are crucial for effective community and civic leadership and align with JLW’s mission to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.
In 2024, JLW launched its inaugural Get on Board 2.0 training program, designed to deepen members’ knowledge, experience, and potential impact in the Washington, DC community and beyond. Different from its 1.0 counterpart, this program featured an advanced curriculum and provided participants with additional exposure to nonprofit and corporate executives, equipping them with valuable skills and resources to serve on boards that benefit the greater good. The Get On Board 2.0 was made possible by gifts to the JLW in remembrance of past JLW and POLL President Elizabeth Marshall Keys. Elizabeth’s vision and passion for women’s training and development continue to inspire JLW members to excel in leadership roles. The success of both Get on Board 1.0 and 2.0 and other Leadership Institute Committee trainings underscores the dedication JLW has for the training and development of our members and their commitment to making a positive impact in their communities, along with continuing Elizabeth’s legacy.
