WHO'S WHO / KNOW YOUR BOARD

Telischa Lewis Membership

Vice President

One of my fondest memories was serving as Community Vice President. In that role, I was able to identify a community need and help come up with a solution to help combat COVID-19 by hosting multiple vaccine drive-through clinics. This is what the JLLR is all about—meeting critical needs in the Little Rock community through our strategic partnerships and voluntarism.

Training Director

One of my favorite memories was turning the Nonprofit Board Institute into a virtual experience early in the pandemic. There was a little bit of anxiety in terms of if it would work, but there was lots of excitement too! In the end, it turned out great and even allowed us to have out-of-state participants from other Junior Leagues.

I loved the Childrens’ Event my new member year. We put together Santa’s Workshop, and it reaffirmed that joining the League was a great idea! I loved seeing the joy on the kids’ faces as they had pictures with Santa, put together crafts, and had donuts and hot chocolate. I also loved meeting a lot of wonderful women in my new member class and spending the morning getting to know them better!

Shannon Heard Marketing Vice President

My favorite memory of my experience with the Junior League of Little Rock was working with fellow new members on our Spring Project at the Boys & Girls Club. Seeing the fruits of our labor while positively impacting our city was one of my proudest moments, and I had fun in the process!

Amberlie Pearce Nominating Director

It sounds so corny, but my favorite memory is truly thinking about all of the close relationships I have with friends from the League. I have met ladies in this organization who have become such a big part of my life. I can think of a dozen times over the almost 10 years I have been a part of JLLR that my fellow League members have taught me, inspired me, and sometimes completely changed my perspective for the better. I love being surrounded by women who are such a force to be reckoned with and who selflessly give their time to make this community better.

My favorite memory is not one specific event, but the act of growing and learning beside women I admire deeply. I cherish all of the memories made at each and every League event alongside these women who have great passion and heart for what the League does!

Sustainer Advisor

It is hard to pick just one favorite Junior League memory, because I treasure all the relationships I have built through the League! If I had to pick just one, I’d go back to the beginning: being a new member and working shifts at the Bargain Barn warehouse in the winter. It was cold, dark, and pretty dirty, but we learned to work together and turn chaos into order. In the process, we forged friendships that are now 20-plus years strong.
