PROVISIONAL Update

2023 is here! It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the Junior League year. The Provisional class has been busy learning all about the Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier during this year’s Provisional meetings. So far, they have learned about the Community and Membership Councils, participated in the November small group meetings, and celebrated at the Provisional holiday party.

The Provisional holiday party was held on December 20, 2022 at the Junior League office. Our group participated in a class led by NASH Charcuterie. We had a fun evening learning how to assemble our charcuterie boxes with meats, fruits, vegetables, and dips. Lots of laughs and great conversations were had.

Provisionals have also participated in January annual interviews. These interviews were conducted by the Provisional Advisors to gain insight into each Provisional’s Junior League experience. Any feedback will be used by the Provisional team for the following year.

During the February meeting, Provisionals will learn about the Fund Development and Communications Councils. During the March meeting, we will have a “placement party.” This meeting will allow Provisionals to ask any additional questions about placements, as well as get assistance from their advisors when submitting their community placement preference in Digital Cheetah. We will have our last Provisional meeting in April. We will celebrate the end of the year with the Board of Directors. The Provisional class will be honored at the General Membership Meeting in May.

This year has allowed our Provisional class to experience all aspects of the Junior League. They have observed community placements, participated in fund development projects, and learned more about the Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier through General Membership Meetings and Provisional meetings. We have a wonderful group of women, and I am very excited to see the Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier grow because of them.
