Greetings,
I am deeply honored to serve as the 23rd Regional Director for the South Central Region of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. I extend warm greetings on behalf of our dedicated Regional Executive Board, a team of passionate leaders committed to our mission:
​
-
Regional Treasurer Jennifer Jackson (The Woodlands Chapter)
-
Regional Secretary Aziza Mims (Houston Chapter)
-
Regional Member-at-Large Michon King (North Suburban Dallas Chapter)
-
National Corresponding Secretary Vanessa Caston LaFleur (Baton Rouge Chapter)
​
Together, we stand on the shoulders of the remarkable leaders who have guided the Sensational South Central Region for the past 70 years. Today, we are united under the banner of a ONE South Central culture, embodying the Guiding Principles of Jack and Jill. Our collective journey includes a commitment to studying the unique needs of African American children and teens, ensuring that we fulfill the mission of Jack and Jill with unwavering dedication.
​
Our theme for 2023-2025 is "Leading with IMPACT." With the collective strength of all 32 chapters and our South Central Region families, we have wholeheartedly embraced the call to Innovate, Motivate, Prepare, Activate, Cultivate, and Thrive as we venture into the next 85 years.
​
We believe that it takes a united village to nurture the future generation. Our formidable leadership team comprises over 50 dedicated Regional and National Appointees, 32 accomplished Chapter Presidents, esteemed Associate Jewels, and the dynamic 10-member Regional Teen Board. Together, we recognize the significance of the brief window of opportunity before us—a chance to create a profound and lasting IMPACT as ONE South Central.
​
With our members actively engaged early, often, and everywhere, we are resolute in our commitment to leave an enduring imprint in the lives of children and teens throughout our region. We are on a mission, driven by a clear purpose, and poised to make a meaningful difference.
​
Long Live Jack and Jill,
LaShanda Reed-Larry
