DR. GWENDOLYN B. PEART Educational Consultant/Former Library Administrator
How long have you been a member of the Junior League of Charlotte? I have been a member of the Junior League of Charlotte since 2013. What is your favorite JLC memory? My favorite JLC memory is when I attended a Get on Board training and as a result, started an educational nonprofit. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would travel to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I always wanted to see the famed Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado. What books/podcasts are you enjoying right now? As a retired librarian, I always have a book or two in my purse and I enjoy reading multiple books at the same time. I am currently reading Goliath Must Fall by Louie Giglio and Soar: Build Your Vision from the Ground Up by T. D. Jakes What inspires you to stay involved with the JLC? I am inspired by the work I enjoy with the Sustainers to remain active and involved with the JLC. What advice would you give to Provisional and Active members? I would encourage all Provisional and Active members to continue to embrace the mission and purpose of the Junior League of Charlotte and to make time to be of service to something that makes such a vital impact in the community.
