2025: Sustainer Engagement Committee (SEC)

The Junior League of Austin, TX

The Junior League of Austin Sustainer Engagement Committee takes a holistic approach on programs designed to promote Sustainer leadership development, foster community and member engagement, and strengthen social connections.  Actives serve on the Sustainer Engagement Committee, working alongside Sustainers to plan events and run programs for Sustaining members.  The SEC organizes non-profit board training made available to all JLA members. The SEC Nonprofit Board Matching Program works directly with local nonprofits throughout the Austin area. Members who attend the event connect directly with representatives from the non-profit organizations that are actively recruiting for board members.   They facilitate monthly social initiatives, volunteer opportunities, and gathering groups, allowing Sustainers to foster meaningful connections. Sustainers are also invited to volunteer in shifts alongside Provisionals and Actives for JLA's signature impact programs and serve as advisors to JLA committees, bringing their perspective throughout the organization. By providing opportunities for leadership development, social connections, and creating a supportive environment, the League is empowering Sustainers to make a meaningful lasting impact in Austin while creating lifelong affinity within the organization.  Congratulations to the Junior League of Austin!
