Junior League of Cincinnati Podcast

In this episode, Jacqueline Schuler sits down with current Membership Engagement chair Meg Anacker to discuss the Junior League of Cincinnati's support platform, Jody's Network. The network was created in memory of Jody Kuempel, a dedicated league Sustainer who passed away on September 19, 1985. League members remembered her as fun, vivacious, and always willing to lend support to others. This inspired our league to create a group that embodied her spirit that same year. Awareness of the initiative waned over the years and was relaunched in February 2019. This network is an opportunity for members to reach out a helping hand to fellow members.

We had the honor of sitting down with Jane Dumbadze and Saralou Durham to discuss advocacy in the Junior League of Cincinnati on multiple levels. First, you will hear Jane's perspective on advocacy as a whole and then her work with the Ronald McDonald House as well as the City Task Force on Teen Pregnancy in 1985.
