Club Committees

The Simsbury Junior Woman's Club is run by the Club's Board which is made up of the Club's president, 1st vice president, 2nd vice president, treasurer, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, and the co-chairs for each committee. Members are asked to choose a major committee on which to serve for the Junior year (September to May). Committees may change from year to year depending on the interests of the Club's members.

Major committees for the 2009-2010 year are as follows:
