President’s Message
Kristina Villardi, Junior League of Las Vegas President
Welcome to the 2025-2026 League year!

This year, we proudly celebrate 80 years of service, growth, and impact in the Las Vegas community. Since our founding in 1946, the Junior League of Las Vegas has been a space where women come together with purpose—to lead, to learn, and to serve. Eight decades later, that mission is still alive and thriving in everything we do.
As President, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand what happens when dedicated women channel their talents, compassion, and drive into meaningful action. Our League is built on the idea that lasting change begins at the community level, and that everyday leadership—when fueled by integrity and collaboration—has the power to transform lives.
Our work is focused, intentional, and rooted in the needs of our city. We continue to invest our time and resources into combating human trafficking and supporting survivors. We forge strong partnerships with local organizations to amplify our collective impact. And we’re committed to creating new pathways for education, empowerment, and advocacy that will carry our work far beyond this moment.
What makes the Junior League of Las Vegas so special is our membership. The women of JLLV are diverse in background, skillset, and perspective—but united in their desire to lead with purpose and serve with heart. We challenge each other to grow, we support one another through every season of life, and we hold fast to the belief that we are stronger and more effective when we work together.
As we honor our 80th anniversary, we’re not only reflecting on where we’ve been—we’re looking ahead with clarity and conviction. Our legacy is not simply in the years we’ve existed, but in the thousands of volunteer hours, the programs we’ve launched, the partnerships we’ve built, and the lives we’ve touched. That legacy continues, and we invite you to be a part of it.
Whether you are a prospective member, a longtime supporter, a donor, or a community partner—thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of women to lead change. Thank you for supporting our mission. And thank you for being part of this journey with us.
I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our projects, and see what’s possible when women work together to move our city forward.
With Gratitude,
Kristina Villardi
