2025 – Division 4: Membership Reimagination Program

The Junior League of The Woodlands, TX

Over the past several years, Junior League of the Woodlands has transformed recruitment, onboarding, and engagement into an inclusive, flexible, and mission-driven experience that ensures every woman feels part of the fabric of their organization before ever officially joining the League.  Some of the most substantive changes include eliminating sponsorship requirements, introducing a second cohort and right-sizing new member obligations.  In addition, JLTW now invites prospective members to participate in community programs, fund development events, and affinity groups, allowing them to build relationships and experience the mission firsthand before ever officially joining. They also provide multiple recruitment pathways, offering virtual and in-person information sessions, as well as one-on-one meetings with board members. By shortening the new member experience to six months, members can now become active twice as fast as in previous years. JLTW has expanded affinity groups creating more touchpoints for engagement across interests and lifestyles.  Finally, JLTW utilized their 35th anniversary in Launching the 35th Anniversary ReMember Campaign, inviting any past member who had resigned or been dropped to reconnect with JLTW and learn about our new programs, leadership opportunities, and enhanced engagement strategies. Congratulations to The Junior League of The Woodlands!  

Award Recipients in Division 4 have 501+ Actives + Provisionals.
