Junior Board

The junior board, one of the Legacy League’s primary leadership groups, plans and executes programs and events for junior members. Past special events include breakfast with a local entrepreneur, Legacy League night at Samford Baseball, Sweets and Strokes, and a program on boundaries led by a trained and licensed counselor.
Junior board members are committed to honor the Lord, provide transformational experiences for our students with significant need and challenging circumstances, and promote a caring community for our members and guests. To be eligible for membership on the junior board, a candidate should be an enthusiastic ambassador for the Legacy League’s mission; previous Samford affiliation is not required. The Legacy League is not exclusively a women’s organization.
