The Junior League of Springfield's Community Advisory Council is a group of well-respected men and women who live, work and/or serve in the Springfield community. They are individuals who have corporate, non-profit and small business expertise in addressing community needs.
The Community Advisors are an essential ingredient to the continued success of the Junior League of Springfield. They have the expertise and skills to bring an outside voice to our League, providing another perspective to our concerns and expanding our point of view. They also act as League ambassadors, raising our visibility and credibility in the community and increasing public awareness of the Junior League of Springfield and our signature focus of child abuse and neglect.
