President's Message

Thank you for your interest in the  Junior League of the Oranges & Short Hills (JLOSH)!

As President, I am thrilled to lead this incredibly resilient organization dedicated to empowering Women as leaders who drive effective and relevant change in our community.

Since our founding in 1913, JLOSH has been dedicated to supporting families and their children residing in East Orange, Orange, West Orange, South Orange, Maplewood, Millburn, Livingston, Springfield and Short Hills. Our long history of service and our commitment to volunteerism and community leadership has thrust JLOSH into the role of a critical technical and resource partner to many community-based organizations in our service area.

For over a century, JLOSH has fostered a vibrant network where Women develop their leadership acumen through volunteerism, collaboration, and training. Leveraging the unique talents and perspectives of each Woman its what, we believe, brings lasting change and significant impact.  Our unwavering dedication to our service area, and to the greatness of the Garden State, remains constant.  We truly believe "we are better together"!

We are a Junior League committed to being inclusive and representative of the diverse communities we serve. We welcome and value Women of all races, identities, abilities, economic statuses and belief systems who align with our mission. We believe that a sense of belonging empowers people to serve and lead across differences effectively. 

This is who we are. We are not just women who volunteer. 

​If the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills aligns with your desire to serve our community, we welcome the opportunity to connect with YOU!  Let's collaborate to support our communities, to be a positive and helpful part of the change we all seek.  We are grateful to our sponsors, supporters and friends who value our mission, and look forward to connecting with new partners - and new members - to continue the work toward a more equitable and impactful community... Together!
