President’s Message
Greetings from the Bright and Beautiful 5 Star Mothers belonging to the Baltimore Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated
As we proudly celebrate the 80th year of our beloved Chapter—one of the pioneering chapters of this great organization—the Baltimore Chapter stands as a beacon of legacy, leadership, and love. Rooted in the vibrant heart of Charm City, our chapter has been devoted to cultivating future leaders and enriching the lives of children through meaningful service, cultural engagement, and educational opportunities.
The Mothers of the Baltimore Chapter are a radiant reflection of brilliance, beauty, and purpose. With unmatched grace, diverse talents, and unwavering dedication, they embody the true spirit of sisterhood, service, and strength. Together, we strive not only to nurture our own children but to extend our love and commitment to the broader community—uplifting families, building bridges, and leaving a lasting impact for generations to come.
As we honor this remarkable milestone, we warmly invite you to explore our website and join us in celebrating all that we have accomplished and all that lies ahead. Here you will find stories of service, opportunities for engagement, and glimpses of the joy that defines our chapter.
On behalf of every Baltimore Chapter Mother, we extend our deepest gratitude for your support of our inclusive programs and impactful events. May this 80th year be not just a commemoration of our past, but a bold declaration of the bright future we continue to shape—together.
Warm regards,
Best,
Mother Leah

ABOUT OUR REGION
Region History
The idea of regional plan of the National Organization was first advanced at the 3rd annual meeting of Jack and Jill of America, Inc., held in Washington, D.C. in 1948. for several years (1946-1956), the regional plan was discussed during the annual conventions.
The regions are geographical subdivisions of the National Organization names as follows: Central, Eastern, Far West, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-Western, South Central, and Southeastern. (See manual for geographical boundaries and chapters located with each region).
The National organization is divided, for administrative purposes, into Regions to:
- Bring together representative of chapters within the Regions
- Allow a closer, fuller participation and communication between chapters
- Enrich chapter programs
- Interpret National Policy, program and projects
The officers of the Region are:
- Regional Director
- Secretary-Treasurer
- Member-at-Large/Foundation
A National Officer represents each Region on the Executive Board.
Region teen conferences are held annually. The first teen conference was held in Philadelphia, PA in June of 1952. Each Region has teen officers who are elected annually at the teen conferences.
