Kendal Bengsch
Assistant Chair, Plaid Door
JLS History:
First active year and served on the Plaid Door Committee as a Provisional.
Why You Joined JLS:I joined JLS to serve the Springfield community on a deeper level and meet new people. I knew I wanted to spend more of my time volunteering, but I wasn’t sure where to start. After a friend of mine told me how much she loved JLS and the amount of other organizations the League partners with, I knew it was where I wanted to be!
Favorite JLS Event:The Provisional Know Your City Tour! Even though I’ve always lived in the Springfield area, I previously had no idea just how large of an impact JLS had on organizations I love, like the Discovery Center and the Creamery Arts Center.
Favorite JLS Memory:All the laugher and awesome conversations had while sorting through donations during Plaid Door work nights.
Life Outside the League:I work with my family at Eagle Business Forms, Inc. and help supply businesses with custom business forms and paper products. I live in Springfield with my partner, too many books, and three spoiled rescue dogs.
Fun Fact:I am an Enneagram enthusiast and love taking a deep dive into the nine personality types and what motivates them!
