Dear Fellow Junior Leaguers and Community Members,
I am honored to address you as the 2026-2027 President of the Junior League of Cedar Rapids. For more than 90 years, the Junior League of Cedar Rapids (JLCR) has been known for developing powerful leaders and generating impactful change in our community. Our legacy goes beyond what we see through volunteer action, community partnerships, and empowered voices.
As we build upon that legacy, we are excited for a new journey in our story. Every member, sustaining and active, makes us who we are and knowing the women around us and before us validates our ability to embrace the next part of our story. Our strength lies in the lives we lead, the relationships we build, and the next generation of Cedar Rapids that we are helping build.
I invite you to join us. Join us as we sunset our 15 year project to an incredible partner, Foundation 2, and work hard to address a new gap in our community. JLCR and the women that make it up bring unique talents, perspectives, and experiences to our organization. Most importantly, we show up with purpose, pride, and a lot of hard work.
Whether by becoming a member, making a donation, or sponsoring one of our events, your support will be a part of our story. To partner organizations, your contribution allows us to grow and support these future leaders and gaps in our community. Our programs benefit your organizational growth and the community you support.
I am grateful for the privilege to lead this powerful organization and look forward to what we can accomplish. I speak and invite you wholeheartedly knowing that JLCR will change your life.
Yours in Service,
Danielle Monthei, President and Humbled Junior Leaguer
