Community Advisory Board
The Junior League of Cobb-Marietta’s Community Advisory Board provides strategic
guidance to our non-profit organization to maximize volunteer and monetary resources to
address real community needs. The Junior League of Cobb-Marietta (JLCM) works to
improve the community, and is enhanced by the shared experience, knowledge and talents
of Community Advisory Board members.

The role of the Community Advisory Board is to provide the Junior League of Cobb-Marietta
with direction and guidance on key issues such as agency partnerships, civic issues and
potential signature projects for the League.  In addition, members of the Community
Advisory Board serve as advocates for the JLCM in their communities, articulating the
mission of the League and its programs.
