Our Mission and Vision
A Message from Laura Claverie Poche’
President, Junior League of Baton Rouge
Junior League of Baton Rouge embarked upon a journey in
2009-2010 to discover how our MISSION IS POSSIBLE
by Empowering Women Through Opportunity. Our valued
membership - almost 2,000 women strong - discovered the
many ways each woman accomplishes our mission when she
embraces and promotes volunteerism in her daily work; develops
her potential as a dynamic, loving and civically-minded woman,
mother, daughter, friend, worker and citizen; and improves our
community by touching lives as an effective leader and volunteer.
The JLBR impacted over 60,000 men, women and children in our community this year by
working over 40,000 volunteer hours and investing over $6,300,000 to improve education,
health and cultural development through our training programs, community projects and
Community Assistance Fund grants! We raised over $425,000tt through the 2009 Hollydays
market, record-breaking sales of the River Road Recipes cookbook series, the inaugural Triple
Crown: Win, Place, Show for Baton Rouge event and social enterprise ventures including the
Baton Rouge Autism Speakers Series and The Little Bookshelf. Our “sweat equity” of 40,000
volunteer hours injected a market value of over $775,000 into our community, and Hollydays
had a documented economic impact to our region of over $5,100,000! WOW!
My active years in the JLBR, particularly this past year as your President, have shown me
how each member, without monetary compensation, offers her time, treasure and talents regardless of personal schedules and commitments. You are, by far, our most valuable asset
and investment. The primary reason that over 95% of our members join the JLBR is to “make
a positive difference” in our community and “network” with exceptional women. On average,
each JLBR member spends 68 hours per year volunteering through JLBR. This is three times
the average for Baton Rouge and almost twice the national average! Our membership’s care
for others is a measure of its greatness. Trust me when I say that our membership is GREAT!
Much of our mission focuses on developing the potential of women, and that doesn’t happen
automatically. I thank you for your commitment to personal growth, and for investing your
mind, body and soul into JLBR’s programs and opportunities for the benefit of yourself, your
family, your friends and our community. As a diverse group of women effectively trained
by the JLBR, we serve as volunteers, collaborators, leaders and catalysts for lasting, relevant
impact. It’s our mission in action!
Our 2009-2010 accomplishments are impressive: increased membership; decreased
resignations; best attended membership and training meetings ever; largest provisional class
ever; happy and fulfilled members; and development of the Speaker’s Fund. We celebrated
another outstanding Hollydays market; the first Triple Crown: Win, Place, Show for Baton
Rouge event; and the 50th anniversary of the River Road Recipes cookbook series.
We achieved solid management results with an outstanding external audit, a membership
survey to set our strategic course, resource analysis, new business systems, implementation
of the AJLI’s Building Blocks for Diversity and Inclusion, strategic training initiatives and
expanding membership eligibility to three additional parishes. Our strategic planning in eight
areas included training, role of league advisors, diversity and cultural inclusion, membership
satisfaction, communications, social enterprise, community impact/outcomes and resource
management. I could go on and on! None of it would have been possible without each of
you. Thank you!
“Community Is Our Business!” Through learning about unmet needs in our community, we
become passionate leaders and volunteers supporting worthy causes and serving others in our
vision areas of education (“mind”), health (“body”) and cultural development (“soul”). We
are a powerful and relevant force for good as evidenced by the kind and inspirational words of
Mayor Kip Holden, Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu, Police Chief Jeff LeDuff, Louisiana’s First
Lady Supriya Jindal and other community leaders at our membership and training meetings.
I express my sincerest gratitude to the 2009-10 board, executive management, leadership,
Sustaining Advisory Board, Community Advisory Board, Community Partners, committees
and every one who collaborated with us and challenged us to improve ourselves and our
organization. My JLBR service has proven to me again that if you want to lead, you have to
serve. The JLBR has done just that for over 78 years and will for many years to come. In sum,
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
FROM THE PRESIDENT

BOARD AND MANAGEMENT
Much has changed since the Junior League of Baton Rouge started nearly 73 years ago.
Women are working full-time jobs while maintaining their commitment to volunteerism. The continued use of
advanced technological means of communication is a sure sign of change. And though the society in which we live has
become more complex, the JLBR is still home to a group of dedicated, enthusiastic women continuously making our
community a better place. We still provide opportunities for learning, growing and personal development. We still are
committed to putting our power and resources to work for our community.
We are proud to celebrate all of our accomplishments, and some significant milestones for the 2009-2010 year included:
SHOPPING FOR A CAUSE
WIN, PLACE, SHOW
FOR BATON ROUGE
RIVER ROAD RECIPES
Hollydays had another smashing year. This event requires every the help of every JLBR member, and the
hard work pays off. Hollydays Market 2009-2010 raised more than $450,000.
The inaugural Win, Place, Show for Baton Rouge celebrated the Kentucky Derby in style and helped
raise more money for JLBR activities and work.
River Roads Recipes celebrated continued success after its 50th anniversary in the 2008-2009 year.

Your help now will allow
Junior League of Baton Rouge
to enhance our community tomorrow.
Since 1932 our corps of woman volunteers has been
singularly focused on improving life for our friends
and neighbors throughout Baton Rouge. But we can’t
do it alone. Your gift to the Junior League of Baton
Rouge Endowment is a contribution to the future of the
women, children and community culture of the
Greater Baton Rouge Area.
