Junior League of Dallas President
“I just can’t
Susan Wells imagine Dallas
without us.”
As we begin our 90th Anniversar y
celebration, I can’t help but think about
how different our city would be without the
tireless efforts of the many women who have
served and trained with the Junior League of
Dallas (JLD).
You will find some of the most visible
monuments of the formidable leadership of
JLD members in the evolution of our Arts
District. To be sure, it took untold hours of
work by many to make each of these things
happen, but in the early going, a Junior
League member led the charge.
Bess Enloe and Ruth Altshuler, two of
our elder stateswomen, launched the Arts
District in the mid-90’s with about $3,000,

the occasional help of a friend’s executive
assistant and the conviction that Dallas could
be and should be a world leader in the Arts.
Later, Caren Prothro, another Sustainer, led a
successful capital campaign for this initiative
during the worst economic downturn since
the Great Depression.
Next spring, The Park, a new green space
above Woodall Rodgers, will welcome our
community. As President of the Woodall
Rodgers Foundation, Linda Owens, a
Sustainer, is leading the development of this
amazing project.
For me, it is almost impossible to
imagine downtown Dallas without the
Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, the
AT&T Performing Arts Center, Booker T.
Washington High School for the Performing
and Visual Arts and, very soon, The Park.
As I try to comprehend the impact of the
Junior League of Dallas over the last 90
years, I just can’t imagine Dallas without us.
Can you?

this north Texas community since our

I have discovered that, over the past 90 years,
the JLD has undoubtedly made Dallas a better

Leaders Serving Dallas
A DallaCite Special 90th Anniversary Tribute BY EMILY HOAD
In 1922, Dallas was comprised of 160,000 citizens. Women had earned the right to vote only two years
earlier. It was in this environment that 10 forward-thinking women, determined to enrich the Dallas
community, founded the 22nd Junior League in the United States. The forty Charter Members of the
Junior League of Dallas (JLD) devoted themselves to serving children and the handicapped. Ninety
years later, the JLD is 5,283 women strong as we celebrate our storied history of service to Dallas.

RECIPIENT OF THE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, GIVEN BY THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF DALLAS
TO ONE OUTSTANDING SUSTAINER EVERY FIVE YEARS.
HONORING OUR LEADERS AT THE
90TH ANNIVERSARY LUNCHEON
On Tuesday, November 15, the JLD officially
celebrated 90 years with a special luncheon
honoring some of our most outstanding
leaders.
Past President Lyda Hill was honored with
the fourth JLD Lifetime Achievement Award.
This prestigious award is given every five years
to recognize an outstanding Junior League
of Dallas Sustaining member. Recipients
demonstrate extraordinary service to the
community and exemplify the JLD goal of
promoting voluntarism and improving the
community through service, effective action
and leadership.

“I am honored to join the previous winners of
this award whom I have worked with, learned
from and admired for many, many years,”
said Hill. “The Junior League of Dallas was
a training ground for both my volunteer and
private sector lives. Blending the two gave
me the especially rewarding opportunity to
give back to my friends, my neighbors and
my entire community.”
Every year, Sustainers celebrate one of their
own – someone who has gone above and
beyond for the community. This year, Lori
Whitlow was named Sustainer of the Year.
“Junior League has allowed me to see the
needs in our community and where I fit
into the puzzle. The League lets you make a
tangible difference. When I think about all
the Sustainers in our community, I’m very
overwhelmed and humbled to have been
chosen,” shared Lori.
Jennifer Tobin, Chair of the 90th Anniversary
Luncheon explained, “This event provided
our members with the opportunity to learn
about the history of our organization and
celebrate those who have given so much to
so many throughout the years. The luncheon
reminds us of the hard work, dedication and
legacy of those who have come before us. It is
because of these women that we can continue
our 90 year tradition of making Dallas a
better place.”
WOMEN HELPING WOMEN
As we celebrate our past, the JLD is also
planting seeds for the next 90 years with the
90 x 90 Challenge. The program asks every
member to give 90 hours of community
service (50 percent more than the annual
requirement) and $90 to the JLD for two
special initiatives: an all-women home build
for a family from New Friends New Life
(NFNL) in partnership with Habitat for
Humanity and a $90,000 anniversary gift
to the Letot Girls’ Residential Treatment
Center.
ALL-WOMEN PROJECT
BUILDS FAMILY HOME
With our 90th Anniversary Service Project,
an all-women team will create a home for
a very special family. In partnership with
Habitat for Humanity, JLD volunteers will
build a home from March through May of
2012 for a deserving client family of NFNL.
“We have an important opportunity to help
those whose lives have been ravaged by the
sex trade industry. With this project, every
JLD member can make a lasting difference,”
said Nikki Webb, 90th Anniversary Chair.
A significant number of women who come
to NFNL began work in the sex industry
as children and are victims of trafficking.
Often times, these women have extremely
limited life choices and struggle with
abuse, addiction and poverty. In addition,
85 percent of these women have children
themselves. NFNL transforms the lives
of these women and children through
education, job training, interim financial
assistance and spiritual support. In 2010,
New Friends New Life served approximately
300 women and children in the North
Texas community.
“This donation of JLD volunteer hours will
provide not only shelter to a family in need,
but also freedom to women seeking a new
life,” said Katie Pedigo, executive director of
NFNL.
A GIFT FOR
GIRLS’ FUTURE
The second part of
our special anniversary
efforts helps to lead the
way to a brighter future
for some very special
women. Our $90,000
gift helps fund the
Letot Girls’ Residential
Tre a t m e n t C e n te r,
which will provide highly
specialized, long-term
residential treatment for
abused and neglected
girls. The program
protects these girls from
adult abusers, while
building the self-esteem
and personal skills
needed to successfully
re-integrate into our
community.
“ We w a n t e d t o
fund something
permanent that
we could point to as part of our
90th Anniversary Celebration. The Letot
Girls’ Residential Treatment Center
addresses a growing problem in our
community in a lasting way. It also embraces
our past involvement with the Letot Center,
as well as looks to the future,” said Webb.
The Letot Center began in 1979 as a coeducational, short-term program for troubled
youth through a partnership between the
Dallas County Juvenile Department, the
Dallas Independent School District and the
JLD.
“On any given night there are 400 girls on
the street in Dallas County. By creating the
Letot Girls’ Residential Treatment Center
through our unique public-private sector
partnership, Dallas will be leading the
nation and providing a model for addressing
The Girls’ Residential Treatment Center, will be housed in a new two-story,

and Lombardy, adjacent to the existing Letot Center.
the exploitation of girls,” said Caren Prothro,
president emeritus of the Letot Center
Capital Foundation and Sustainer of the JLD.
“Through the generous support of the Junior
League of Dallas, we are one step closer to
achieving our goal of giving these girls a safe
and caring place to rebuild their lives.”
A TIME TO LOVE, SERVE AND LEAD
For 90 years, the JLD has continued the
mission of our original 40 members. Through
their time, talents and energy, tens-ofthousands of members over the years have led
the way in creating a better community. “This
year is about stretching ourselves in giving
and service to propel the League into the next
90 years,” said JLD President, Susan Wells.

A JLD member for more
than 10 years, Sharon
describes herself as a
"what you see is what you
get”-type of person, which
has no doubt helped her
achieve great success as
an attorney with Higier,
Allen & Lautin, P.C. Sharon
has found great value in
the various leadership
assessments taken
throughout her career,
including the Birkman
Personality Assessment
given to JLD leadership
and made possible by the
T. Boone Pickens
Foundation grant. At 90,
Sharon wants to look back
at her life, and in the words
of Jimmy Bu9et, say,
ƕ...some of it’s magic, some
of it’s tragic, but I had a
good life all the way.”
COMMUNICATIONS
VICE PRESIDENT
In addition to serving as a
marketing director at
Dr Pepper Snapple Group
and her commitment to the
JLD, Allison serves on the
Lakewood Early Childhood
PTA, the SMU Cox School of
Business Mentor Board, the
DMA Junior Associates and
The Children’s Trust. Allison
has learned that it is more
rewarding to coach others
and watch them earn
deserved recognition than
to complete a task oneself.
Allison aims to make an
impact through mentoring
others, while partnering with
her husband, Corbin, to
inspire their children, Lila
and Nolan, to work hard, be
grateful and give back.
RECORDING SECRETARY
April has been a member of
the League since her
Provisional year in 2005 and
she considers herself
fortunate to be part of the
inaugural year of the T.
Boone Pickens Leadership
Institute. She believes
leadership is a journey of
constant improvement
accomplished by listening to
others, learning from their
experiences and recognizing
your personal strengths and
weaknesses as you grow in
your e9ectiveness to serve
others. April hopes to inspire
others to have a passion to
work hard to achieve their
personal goals and have a
positive in:uence on the
community.

established when they were
granted the Dallas-area

the same joy and ful7llment
she has experienced
through her volunteer work
with the JLD.
TRAINING VICE PRESIDENT
In addition to her current
role, Laura has held
numerous leadership
positions in her 15 years with
the JLD. She is also a
devoted wife and mother.
The League has taught
Laura that leadership
development is a life-long
learning process. She 7nds
it exciting to empower
others to use their talents
to accomplish JLD goals
while helping them achieve
and improve as civic leaders
and community volunteers.
DEVELOPMENT VICE
PRESIDENT
Lauren keeps busy through
her work as a commercial
real estate appraiser as well
as through her involvement
with the Dallas Children’s
Theater, LaunchAbility and
Community Partners of
Dallas. Through the JLD,
Lauren has learned it is
necessary to listen to those
you not only serve, but also
lead, in order to continue to
develop as a leader and
best meet the needs of the
organization. She also
hopes to be remembered as
being a good mother and
wife who provided
inspiration for her peers to
make a positive impact on
the lives of others.
ADMINISTRATIVE
VICE PRESIDENT
Melissa works in human
resources for a global
commercial real estate 7rm.
A JLD member for more
than 7ve years, she gained
invaluable guidance and
leadership skills by
participating in the inaugural
year of the T. Boone Pickens
Leadership Institute in 2009
and 2010. Melissa and her
husband, Tim, recently
welcomed their 7rst child,
Amelia, in July.
PRESIDENT
In addition to her career as
an estate planning attorney
and principal of the Wells
Firm, Susan has volunteered
with Genesis Women’s
Alliance since 2004 and
served as president of the
Alliance in 2009-2010. She
is also a member of
Attorneys Serving the
Community. Throughout
Susan's many leadership
positions in the League, she
has learned that inspiring
others to service and
showing appreciation for a
job well done is vital to
maximizing the results of the
JLD volunteers.
PLANNING VICE PRESIDENT
Meredith has spent 10 active
years in the League and has
developed skills to put
people in positions to
succeed by identifying their
strengths and realizing what
motivates them. Meredith
wants to be remembered as
being consistently involved
in her community, seeking
out and responding to key
needs while loving, serving
and building relationships
with those around her. She
and her husband, Matt, have
a 4-year-old daughter.
SUSTAINING ADVISOR
In addition to the JLD,
Susan also contributes her
time to the Genesis Alliance
Board and Highland Park
Intermediate School PTA
where she 7lled the
presidential role in 2010. A
key lesson Susan has
learned in the JLD is to
“Listen, listen, listen and
then (just when you think
you have heard enough)
listen some more!” This
lesson proved impactful
during her stint as League
President in 2007. Susan’s
role model is a dear friend,
Lisa, who is battling breast
cancer who gets up each
day with a positive, can-do
spirit and inspires Susan to
appreciate everything in life.

MEMBERSHIP
VICE PRESIDENT
Cindy has been a member of
the League since 1999.
Though she never would

credits the League for
providing her with the
training and con7dence to
take on those positions.
Cindy believes if she can
convince just one other
woman to volunteer and
impact her city and citizens,
she will have made a legacy.

BECAUSE...
“I feel that the Junior League
is a very e9ective, quality
organization that delivers
many excellent services to
our community.”
...“like Comerica, their work in
the Dallas community helps
people to be successful.”
...“few other organizations

making a di9erence in the
community with talents, time
and resources.”
I want to be remembered
for “making a contribution
to improving the quality of
health care in our region.”
I want to be remembered as
a “good citizen and great
father.”
I want to be remembered as a
"long-serving judge who was

BY DENISE HODGES
Dallas residents have recently
witnessed the creation of two
significant landmarks that will
forever change the skyline and
landscape of our city.
The
Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge links
West Dallas and North Oak
Cliff with downtown and The
Park will soon serve as a 5.2-acre
community park and public green
space over Woodall Rodgers
Freeway, linking the downtown
Central Business District with
the businesses and residents of
Uptown.
Each of these new landmarks is significantly
tied to the Junior League of Dallas (JLD).
The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is named
for a former Sustainer and mother of
Lyda Hill, who championed the construction
of the bridge joining South Dallas with
the rest of our community. Linda Owen,
a former Board Member of the League,
today serves as the president of the Woodall
Rodgers Park Foundation and is charged
with developing and operating The Park.
The JLD continually provides its members
with the training and leadership skills
to expand and deepen their community
influence. In this anniversary year, as we
look back at a few of the other significant
contributions League members have made
to Dallas over the past 90 years, we find
ourselves wondering just what our city
would look like without these landmarks
and organizations. We are grateful to the
women behind these agencies who have
helped mold our city into what it is today and
we are eager to see the future contributions
of League members in their ongoing effort
to positively impact the Dallas community.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
OF DALLAS
While many citizens want to believe child
abuse takes place outside of their own
community, staggering statistics show that
thousands of abused and neglected children
are in desperate need of help right in our own
backyard. Community Partners of Dallas is
focused on ensuring safety and restoring
hope to these children by providing support
and resources to the caseworkers of Dallas
County Child Protective Services (CPS).
Last year, more than 16,000 children were
assisted by the six care programs provided by
Community Partners of Dallas.
When a child is removed from their home, it
is not always possible to grab toothbrushes,
clothes or a beloved teddy bear to take with
them on their new journey. The Rainbow
Room, which earned its name from the
rainbow painted in the hallway by League
volunteers, is an emergency resource

center that provides critically needed items for children
entering the care of CPS. In addition to meeting a child’s
immediate needs, the Kids in Crisis program provides
funds for children’s clothing, transportation, therapy and
enrichment activities such as music lessons, housing and
medical expenses.
As a result of widespread community support,
Community Partners of Dallas was named the
“Outstanding Volunteer Organization of the Year” by the
Volunteer Center in Dallas. Because of resounding success
in assisting both children in need and Dallas County CPS
workers, Community Partners of Dallas’ programs have
been replicated across the state, and Rainbow Rooms and
Adopt-A-Caseworker programs have been replicated in
more than 135 cities across the state.
THE JLD WOMEN BEHIND
COMMUNITY PARTNERS OF DALLAS
In 1989, then Active JLD Members Emy Lou Baldridge
and Mimi Huey received a request they weren’t expecting:
the local Dallas County Child Protective Services and
the Youth Services Advisory Board were in need of a
volunteer group to help neglected children, and they felt
Baldridge and Huey could make it happen.
“We interviewed as many people as we could to make sure
we created what was really needed,” said Huey. “And it
just took off.”
Before Community Partners of Dallas was created,
caseworkers had to make several phone calls to acquire
the necessary donated supplies to care for the children.
Baldridge and Huey knew there was a more efficient way
to gather these resources. Hence, The Rainbow Room was
created where caseworkers could collect the items they
needed any time of day.
It wasn’t always an easy road; the ladies admit that
securing volunteers isn’t always easy since the stories of
the children they assist are so heartbreaking. They insist,
however, that everyone who chooses to volunteer is
hooked after walking in the door.
After a few years of delivering service, Community
Partners of Dallas was having such a significant impact
that former JLD member and then-First Lady of Texas
Laura Bush provided assistance to expand Community
Partners programs throughout the state. Some of that
credit, Baldridge said, also belongs to the 26 Texas-based
Junior League chapters who adopted their cause and
helped replicate the program.

“Junior League spread the word and gave us energy,”
Huey said.
DallaCite
To this day, the ladies are amazed at what has been
accomplished over the years and by the great success of
Community Partners of Dallas in assisting children in the
area. It has been made possible through the teamwork,
community partnerships and countless volunteer hours
poured into the cause.
“I guess it was just meant to be,” Huey said.
Each year, Genesis Women’s Shelter houses
650 women and children in their quest to
end the epidemic of domestic violence.
GENESIS WOMEN’S SHELTER
Genesis Women’s Shelter began in 1985
after Shelter Ministries of Dallas recognized
the unique needs and vulnerabilities of
abused and battered women and children
when seeking help for a way out of their
situation. After arriving at the shelter today,
women participate in counseling, group
and individual therapy, positive parenting
classes and professional casework.
Children benefit from a full-time children’s
therapeutic program while concurrently
attending the on-site alternative school, a
program which provides children with a
safe educational environment while they are
residents at the Shelter. Today, volunteers
from the League often spend time as tutors,
mentors and teacher’s assistants for these
children.
While part of the shelter’s mission is to
provide support for the victims of abuse,
Genesis recognizes and embraces the need
to take action against the cycle of abuse
before it begins. Genesis workers hold
annual conferences and provide resources
and trainings to raise awareness regarding
the pervasiveness and effects of domestic
violence in an effort to prevent violence
before it starts.
“It would have been
so easy for me to say,
‘I can’t do that or I’m
not qualified,’ but
the Junior League of
Dallas gave me the
tools and training
I needed to get to
where I am today,”
Jan Langbein, Executive Director
Genesis Women’s Shelter
THE JLD WOMAN BEHIND THE SHELTER
When it comes to her involvement with
Genesis Women’s Shelter, Jan Langbein
thinks she was just in the right place at the
right time. More than 20 years ago, during
a routine nail appointment, Langbein read
a magazine article on domestic violence
and a statistic jumped out at her: every 12
seconds a woman is assaulted. She didn’t
realize it then, but that article changed her
life forever.
placement. She flipped opened the brochure
to the violence intervention tab and placed
her finger on Genesis Women’s Shelter, the
agency where she would spend the next year
working with the crisis hotline. Upon arrival
at the shelter, she was startled to see women
just like her benefiting from their services.
“At first, I really didn’t know anything about
the issue,” said Langbein. “I also didn’t
know some of my peers were battered or
hurt when they were growing up. I thought
the shelter served an entirely different
demographic.”
After contributing in a volunteer capacity,
Langbein was hired as the shelter’s executive
director, a role in which she has served for
more than 20 years. She credits the JLD
with giving her the skills to succeed in the
position; from learning how to structure
a committee to knowing how to train and
work with volunteers.
“It would have been so easy for me to say, ‘I
can’t do that or I’m not qualified,’ but the
Junior League of Dallas gave me the tools
and training I needed to get to where I am
today,” said Langbein.

THE DALLAS ARTS DISTRICT
There are few things as exciting and inspiring
as attending a world-class opera performance
or experiencing a Broadway-quality musical.
Thanks to the Dallas Arts District, North
Texas residents and visitors now have these
experiences at their fingertips in some of the
most luxurious and high-class facilities in
the world. The Dallas Arts District is home
to the city’s leading visual and performing
arts institutions and serves as a catalyst for
the region’s top creative talent.
Whether visitors want to view ancient Asian
art at the Trammell Crow Center, hear
Jaap van Zweden’s latest selections at the
Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center
or see the beauty of contemporary dance
at the Wyly Theater, there is something for
everyone in The Dallas Arts District.
THE JLD WOMAN BEHIND THE ARTS
Bess Enloe, a current JLD Sustainer, had a
vision years ago that Dallas would be on the
nation’s cultural map as a world-class leader
in the arts. Enloe was and continues to be
an energetic leader and supporter of many
Dallas arts groups. She was an advocate
for bringing the symphony, opera and art
museum (located in Fair Park at the time) to
a more central location downtown.
early 2000s, they had secured a bond
campaign to buy land, hired a fundraiser
and executive and recruited new milliondollar donors to join the cause. Enloe and
her fellow campaigners believed that the
new opera and theater needed to be first
class all the way from architectural design to
landscaping.
“It was important to all of us that the
architecture is among the best you can get,”
Enloe said. “We wanted to set a standard of
excellence in our buildings.”
After years of teamwork, the team
had secured nearly 90 percent of the
$354 million project, including 133 pledges
of more than $1 million.
And so with the addition of the
AT&T Performing Arts Center, the
Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, the
Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House
and the Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons
Park, the new Dallas Arts District was born.

Gathering Community
Support
The Importance of JLD Fundraising
BY LAUREN GLESBY
The Junior League of Dallas is an organization of women committed to
promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving
the community through the effective action and leadership of trained
volunteers. The League exists in large part because of the passionate
members who are wholeheartedly dedicated to achieving this mission.
LAUREN MAGGARD
VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT
Lauren Maggard, the Development Vice President of the Junior League of Dallas, explained how
the quadrupling power of JLD members adds to the donations, amplifying the total impact of
gifts given to the League. “Each year, JLD members donate more than 130,000 hours back to the
Dallas community,” she said. “When you apply the Center for Nonprofit Management’s estimate
of a volunteer’s hourly wage of $20.85 to those hours, it equates to $2,710,500 in volunteer
contributions. These volunteer hours, coupled with approximately $1 million in funds donated,
combine to total a community impact of nearly $4 million,” says Maggard. “Simply said, when you
give $1 to the JLD, we turn it into $4 of impact.”
“The recipients of these gifts are well researched in terms of financial stability, volunteer satisfaction and impact on the community,” says
Maggard. “We take our due diligence one step further by having a League member serve on the agency’s board,” she explains. “We raise,
research and make an impact!”

More than 94,000 school-aged children participated in our education programs last year,

education in our community, and our degreed teachers are taking giant steps toward this
goal. The Junior League does so much to support the Arboretum, and your commitment is
appreciated by all who work and visit here. Your continued partnership and generosity have
opened doors for hundreds of area children, and we are fortunate to count you among our

DALLAS CHILDREN’S ADVOCACY CENTER
Last year, the Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center provided services to over 2,000 children,

to your dedication, we are able to combat this growing issue of child abuse in the community.
Our commitment to the safety of children extends beyond those we serve within the Center
as well. DCAC also aims to equip our community with the educational tools to prevent child

We see Junior League members who arrive to volunteer at Genesis

DIANNE CASH
ELIZABETH GAMBRELL
The Junior League of Dallas (JLD) is privileged to have Dianne
Cash serving as the 2012 Honorary Ball Chair. Thirty years ago,
Cash was a performer at the Ball, singing and dancing on stage.
Today, she is filling a key leadership position for the 50th year of
this important annual JLD fundraising event.
The Junior League of Dallas (JLD) is pleased that Elizabeth
Gambrell committed to serve as the 2012 Ball Chair. Gambrell’s
previous contributions as a member of the JLD and her years of
service to numerous organizations in the Dallas community have
led her to this honor.
Cash has been a proud member of the League for more than 35
years. Born in Houston and a graduate of SMU, Cash is also the
mother of two daughters who are members of the JLD.
Gambrell is a seventh generation Texan, a wife and mother of
three. A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and the
University of Texas School of Law, she practiced commercial
litigation and appellate law and has been honored in D Magazine
as a top attorney under age 40.
2012 HONORARY BALL CHAIR
Her love of working with people caused her to spend much of her
JLD time volunteering in public health, including placements at
Parkland Hospital and with organizations dedicated to working
with persons with autism and Down syndrome.
Cash credits her involvement in the JLD to her further participation
in community service. “When I got out of the Junior League, it is
what I did after that I credit back to the League,” Cash said. “The
Junior League trained me well for the rest of the endeavors I’ve
pursued in my life.”
Following the Junior League, Cash spent six years working with
charities dedicated to breast cancer research and awareness and
received Baylor’s Celebrating Women Award. Cash’s generous
donation also made possible the Frances and Mildred Goad
building, named for Cash’s mother and grandmother, for the
Center for BrainHealth of UT Dallas Medical Center. She
received a Legacy Award for her contribution and efforts related
to this initiative.
Cash remarked about her position as the Honorary Ball Chair, “I
was thrilled beyond measure to be asked me to serve in this role as
I have loved the Junior League organization forever. I am honored
to represent this great organization in the
community.”
2012 BALL CHAIR
Over her years as a member of the Junior League, Gambrell’s
previous roles include Recording Secretary on the Board of
Directors as well as various roles within the Leadership Council,
including Provisional Chair, Bylaws Chair and Research and
Planning Chair. She also acted as the Project Chair for Genesis
Women’s Shelter and participated on several other committees.
In addition to her extensive participation in the JLD, Gambrell
has held other community leadership positions. She currently
serves on the Board of Directors for Community Partners of
Dallas and the ChildCareGroup, Cattle Baron’s Ball Committee
and as President-elect of the Women of St. Michael.
“This position is part of an absolutely amazing team,
which is working for the common goal of raising
the most money possible to be given back to our
community,” Gambrell says. “There are so many
incredible contributors to this effort so that the League
can continue its 90 year tradition of service.”
A
Decade

Leadership
2011-2012 Sustainer President Paige McDaniel
Shares her Story BY HOLLY HASSMANN
AS A MEMBER OF THE JUNIOR LEAGUE OF DALLAS, PAIGE McDANIEL HAS MADE MANY MEMORIES AND DEVELOPED MANY LASTING FRIENDSHIPS.
HER PARTICIPATION IN OUTREACH INITIATIVES HAS MADE AN IMPACT IN THE LIVES OF MANY IN THE DALLAS COMMUNITY AND BEYOND.
Paige McDaniel, the 2011-2012 Junior League of Dallas Sustainer
President, has been a fixture in the Dallas community for many years.
So much so that it may come as a surprise that her first years in the
Junior League were as a member of the Junior League of Washington
D.C. In 1989, Paige joined looking to meet new people and experience
new things. At the time, she never would have predicted that joining
the League would be a decision that would change her life forever.
Paige’s first active volunteer roles in the D.C. League included
serving as a mentor to the Provisional class. It was in this role that she
developed a passion for leading and encouraging young women to
reach their potential and give back to their community.
By the time Paige was ready to move back to her hometown of Dallas
in 1992, she was committed to the Junior League because of the
relationships developed, training and education received and the
amazing impact made by the League in the communities it served.
In the JLD, Paige has served actively in a variety of roles on the
Provisional, Nominating, Research and Planning, Community
Assistance Fund and Research and Development Committees. She
also has served in League leadership positions such as Nominating
Committee Chair, Recognition Chair, Communications Vice
President and Training Vice President.

While on the Provisional Committee, Paige developed a friendship
with Chair Jill Bee. As their friendship developed, Jill could see Paige’s
interest in serving the needs of our community in a greater way. Jill
recommended Paige participate in the Research and Development
Committee, and subsequently the Community Assistance Fund
Committee, a recommendation that would lead Paige on a new path.
As Paige learned more about the community needs in Dallas, she
began to re-think her life’s work.
“I had the opportunity to visit agencies across the city and it was
through that eye-opening experience that I decided to change my life,”
said Paige. “I met countless people who worked every day making a
positive difference in the lives of others and that’s what I wanted to
do.”
After brief experiences with The Dallas Symphony Orchestra and
Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer, Paige became the president and CEO of
Community Partners of Dallas (CPD), an agency that serves neglected
and abused children in Dallas County. Today, Paige commits her
professional career at CPD, doing what she calls “God’s work” and
she is the first to say that wouldn’t have been possible if it were not for
the experience and training she received through JLD.
What Paige's friends and
colleagues say...
“When I met Paige, she was at a
crossroads in her professional life
and chose to move into the world of
nonpro7t. What a blessing this turned
out to be for the nonpro7ts for whom
she has served as Executive Director
and for the lives that she has touched
in our community.”
JILL BEE
SUSTAINER AND
PAST “SUSTAINER OF THE YEAR”
“Watching Paige’s commitment to the
children served by Community
Partners of Dallas is a daily
inspiration- not only does she lead
our organization, she 7lls it with joy.
Paige has positively impacted my life
in many ways. She is a wonderful
mentor and teacher and a loyal
friend.”

JOANNA CLARKE
VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT AT
COMMUNITY PARTNERS OF DALLAS AND
“One of the greatest gifts the Junior
League of Dallas has given me is my
friendship with Paige. Paige is one of
those people that you meet for the
7rst time and feel that you have known
for a lifetime. There is no one with a
more kind heart and giving spirit, it is
an honor to be her friend.”
LYNN McBEE
SUSTAINER AND PAST JLD PRESIDENT
Paige counts the friends she has made in her
20 years in the JLD as her very best. She
also counts the Junior League of Dallas as
one of the most impressive organizations in
the community.
“To run a sophisticated volunteer
organization truly takes a village of
dedicated and smart women willing to
contribute countless hours and resources
for the betterment of others,” she said.
“The JLD is thousands strong, comprised
of amazing women who have been giving to
this community for 90 years. It makes me
very proud to be a part of this tremendous
collection of inspiring women who have
changed the face of Dallas.”

2010 TBPLI CHAIR
BEVERLY CAHILL RICE
2010 TBPLI GRADUATE
The Junior League of Dallas is filled with natural born leaders. Through a generous
gift from the T. Boone Pickens Foundation, the Junior League advanced its mission by
launching the T. Boone Pickens Leadership Institute (TBPLI) in 2009. The Institute
guides members through a three-fold initiative designed to enhance and expand their
knowledge of their strengths, growth areas and abilities.
“To be a part of a program that inspires and motivates women to be leaders in their
professional, civic and personal lives was an honor and a privilege,” said Holly Hassmann,
2010 Chair of the TBPLI.
The Leadership Institute features a 10-month, in-depth program aimed to grow executive
leadership skills. The curriculum includes guest speakers and leadership experts
discussing topics such as becoming self-aware and team building; coaching, mentoring
and creating a high trust environment; becoming a visionary and servant leader; and
communicating to motivate and inspire others.
“The experiences that I encountered during the T. Boone Pickens Leadership Institute
allowed me to learn more about my personal leadership style and to explore how my
personality traits can translate into leading individuals and groups of varying beliefs,
attitudes and cultures,” said 2010-2011 TBPLI graduate Beverly Cahill Rice. The program
gives potential leaders in the community the opportunity to learn about leadership topics
that will further benefit the Dallas community.
“More and more, the JLD is attracting professionally driven women who are inclined to
lead rather than follow, and it is because of this growing trend that the JLD must ready
itself to identify and tap into this wealth of talent,” Rice said. “The Leadership Institute
is precisely the type of initiative that will keep the JLD at the forefront of training leaders
for our Dallas community and far, far beyond.”
