Community Advisory Council

The Junior League of Lubbock’s Community Advisory Council is a group of individuals invited to serve to provide feedback and advice to the JLL regarding existing and planned programs and services. These key individuals in the Lubbock community are in a position to have their fingers on the pulse of the community and its needs and their involvement and interest in the JLL is invaluable to our success.
