What is Provisional membership?

A Provisional member (aka Provisional) is a new member engaged in a period of training focused on developing a greater understanding of the Junior League of Indian River (JLIR), becoming acquainted with JLIR members, attending General Membership Meetings (GMMs), participating on a JLIR committee (membership, marketing & communications or community impact), volunteering at JLIR community impact events and having fun. This process prepares Provisional members for their future as Active members of the League. Upon completion of the training period, you will officially become an Active member.

 

What is Provisional membership training?

Typically, JLIR conducts a “Super Saturday” training session. Super Saturdays condense provisional training into a 3-4 hour event which is often followed by a fundraising or community impact (volunteer) event that is open to all Junior League members. In provisional training, you will have an opportunity to learn about the history of the League, mix & mingle with Actives and Sustainers, learn how our League operates, and develop an understanding of how you can become more involved in the League – both as a participant and as a leader.

 

This year we are planning to host a Super Saturday once in the fall and once in the spring. If you are unable to attend the Super Saturday immediately following your dues payment, you will be automatically invited to the next Super Saturday. If you are unable to attend any of the Super Saturday sessions this League Year, our Membership Chair will work with you to develop a plan for your training completion.
