President's Welcome

Greetings,

 

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Award-Winning Five Star Classy Cleveland Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc.'s webpage. Working alongside 58 powerful and visionary mothers, I am honored to serve as the 2025-2027 Chapter President. We are excited that you are interested in learning more about our chapter and welcome the opportunity to share the incredible programming we provide our children.

 

For over 75 years, our chapter has remained steadfast in its commitment to excellence through transformative programming, unparalleled leadership opportunities, and impactful community outreach. Our children are at the heart of everything we do as we carry forward the legacy of our founder, Marion Stubbs Thomas, who established this organization in 1938. Today, with over 230 chapters worldwide and a reach touching 40,000 families, Jack and Jill of America, Inc. continues to uplift, nurture, and empower in meaningful ways.

 

This year, our Chapter theme - “Empowering Excellence Together” - embodies our dedication to nurturing talent, inspiring purpose, and building collective strength in our children. We understand that together we rise as we emphasize the importance of unity and collaboration, highlighting that through working as one, we will continue to achieve high standards and create a lasting, positive impact in our community for future generations.

 

I am excited to carry forward our legacy within this extraordinary organization and look forward to a year filled with purpose, progress, and impact.

 

In Service,
