President’s Message

As we enter our 100th year, I am honored, humbled, and incredibly excited to step into the role of President of the Junior League of Pasadena. Thank you for trusting me to lead an organization focused on empowering women to break barriers, build their futures, and strengthen communities.
The Junior League of Pasadena strives to advance women’s leadership and create community impact through volunteer work, collaboration, and training. We recognize that women face several barriers, particularly in the workplace, that hinder their career growth and well-being. Through trainings and community partnerships, our organization has consistently supported initiatives that promote leadership and foster initiatives that promote equity, leadership, and inclusion for women. We have hosted a number of workshops on meaningful and relevant topics such as grant-writing, financial literacy, and professional development. We have established a legacy of leadership and service by partnering with numerous organizations that provide invaluable resources for women, including shelter, continuing education, and safe spaces for women and their families. We continue to work with our community partners to support each other and champion causes that matter.
Leadership is not a solo act; it is a collective endeavor towards a common goal, and serving alongside an incredible Board of Directors and Management Team fuels my purpose. Together, we focus on growing our impact, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring our work is sustainable for generations to come. As we move forward, I am committed to engaging with our community, advocating for their interests, and cultivating environments where every individual is recognized, heard, and appreciated.
In the Spirit of Service,
Lisa Glionna
2025-2026 Junior League of Pasadena President
