JLRV to Host Amplify Women: Voices in Community Leadership


The Junior League of Roanoke Valley (JLRV) is proud to present their 2025 leadership event, open to the public, Amplify Women: Voices in Community  Leadership – an empowering conference designed to spotlight the impact of volunteerism and  the transformative power of leadership through service.  

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, May 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the  Roanoke Higher Education Center and promises to be a compelling experience for anyone  passionate about civic engagement, leadership, and community-building.  

JLRV is honored to welcome Joe Cobb, Mayor of the City of Roanoke; Valmarie Turner, City  Manager of the City of Roanoke; and a dynamic panel of local women nonprofit leaders who will  share their unique journeys of service and leadership. Attendees will explore topics such as the  connection between volunteerism and professional growth, the role of board service, how to  create meaningful change through community involvement, and more.  

Tickets are now available at www.jlrv.org. Space is limited and this event traditionally sells out;  early registration is strongly encouraged.
