From the President

As we step into a new League year, I am honored and humbled to serve as your President of the Junior League of Sacramento for the 2025 to 2027 League years. My journey with the League began with a desire to foster community, promote equity, and create space for connection and growth—and every moment since has deepened that commitment. While I am not a Sacramento native, I feel the Junior League has helped me build a sense of pride and commitment to our community that many of you express so deeply. Together, we are writing the next vibrant chapter of the League, building upon the generations before us, rooted in empowerment, purpose, and collective impact.

The Junior League has long been a catalyst for change in Sacramento, and this year we build upon that legacy with renewed energy. As an environmental educator and nonprofit leader, I’ve had the privilege of leading youth programs across California that connect students to nature, empower them to take action, and amplify their voices. That same spirit of learning and leadership is what makes our League so powerful.

In the past year, as your Executive Vice President and President-Elect, I had the opportunity to work closely with our Management Team and Board to guide impactful programming, oversee strategic initiatives, and support our four councils in realizing the vision of our Annual Plan. It has been deeply inspiring to witness our members’ creativity, commitment, and resilience as we reimagined events, continued advancing DEIB efforts, and invested in one another’s growth.

Looking ahead, our focus will remain on fostering strong community partnerships, elevating our training and leadership opportunities, and creating meaningful experiences that reflect the passion and talents of our members. Whether you are a New Member, a returning Active, or a treasured Sustainer, know that your contributions shape the heart of our League.

I invite each of you to engage fully—attend a GMM, engage in your committee, share your ideas, and support one another. As we often say, “You get out of it what you put into it,” and I truly believe that each moment of service adds up to lasting impact.

Let’s move forward together with joy, curiosity, and the boldness to build a better Sacramento.

With gratitude and excitement,
Allie Dumas, M.Ed.
President, 2025–2027
Junior League of Sacramento
