Dear Members of the Junior League of Columbus,

It is with immense gratitude and excitement that I introduce myself as your incoming President for the 2025–2026 League year and the 81st President of the Junior League of Columbus. It is truly an honor to step into this role and walk alongside such a dynamic group of women committed to leadership, service, and lasting community impact.

Our theme for this year is “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” This message is a reminder that no matter where life places us—whether in seasons of growth, transition, or challenge—we each have the power to flourish, contribute meaningfully, and inspire others right where we are. As members of the Junior League, we are uniquely positioned to nurture not only our own development but also the communities we serve.

As we look ahead, I am filled with hope and anticipation for what we will accomplish together. From impactful volunteer projects and purposeful partnerships to member engagement events and training opportunities, this year’s initiatives are designed to help each of us grow individually and collectively. Whether you are deepening your leadership journey or just beginning to discover your passion for service, there is space for you to thrive.

Women’s leadership remains the heartbeat of our League, and we will continue to build each other up through shared experiences, mentorship, and intentional collaboration. Together, we will strengthen our mission, elevate our voices, and plant seeds that will bloom well beyond this League year.

I invite you to dive in fully—join a committee, attend events, bring your ideas to the table, and encourage one another. Our League is only as strong as the commitment of our members, and I have every confidence that this year will be one of unity, inspiration, and forward momentum.

Thank you for the trust you have placed in me. Thank you to my family for their unwavering support. And thank you—each and every one of you—for choosing to serve, lead, and grow through the Junior League of Columbus.

Let’s bloom boldly, together.

With gratitude and excitement,

Dr. Tiffany McBride

President, 2025–2026

81st President

Junior League of Columbus
