LOOKING AHEAD WITH 2023-24 JLOC PRESIDENT ADRIENNE NOBLES
What do you love about JLOC? I love connecting with people I may never have crossed paths with if not for JLOC. I love the opportunity to not only use my talents and skills to serve the organization, but to also try new things and develop new skills through trainings and placements. And finally, I love being a part of the JLOC history that has and continues to make a lasting impact on Oklahoma City.
What do you hope to contribute to JLOC and the wider OKC community through your role as President? By the time you actually become President, it is more about implementing and supporting your fellow leaders to shore up the future of the League. I have had years of training and excellent examples of leadership during my time in the League. I hope I am able to contribute continuity, stability, joy and excitement for the future. I want to build up our bench of leaders and engaged Members as we head toward our centennial.
What are your goals for your tenure as President?
My goals include continuing the momentum built by my predecessor, Sheena Karami Hollander, in returning to a primarily in-person Member experience and strengthening Membership engagement and value.
In a post-pandemic world, connection is as vital as it’s ever been for our health and wellbeing.
To me, that’s one of the most unique parts of our value proposition. You can volunteer other places.
You can find a training with other organizations.
You can meet people in different places. But JLOC offers a way to not only do all three…but to do them in truly impactful and creative ways that result in deep connections and lifelong friends. When we strengthen Membership engagement, we strengthen JLOC’s potential to impact our community.
