Dear GFWC Georgia Clubwomen,
As we embark on this 2026–2028 administration, I am honored to serve as your Director. Our path forward is clear: we are embarking on a Journey with the Juniors.
We find our inspiration in the timeless wisdom of Laozi: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Whether we are seasoned members or just starting our service, every project we undertake and every new member we welcome represents that vital first step toward a stronger Federation.
Our administration symbol of the world perfectly illustrates our mission. It reminds us that while our vision is global, our hands-on service starts with the most vulnerable. As we travel together, we will focus our hearts on two vital Special Projects:
Happy Tails: A Legacy of Unconditional Love This project is dedicated to the memory of my soul dog, my rescue, Missy. For seven precious years, Missy was my constant companion, teaching me the true meaning of unconditional love and unwavering loyalty. In her honor, we will focus our efforts on animal rescue advocacy. A key part of this mission is our support of Ahimsa House, an organization that provides a literal lifeline for victims of domestic violence and their pets. By helping these families stay together during their most vulnerable moments, we ensure that no one—human or animal—is left behind on the road to safety.
Happy Trails: The Equestrian Project at TFS Our journey also leads us to the stables of Tallulah Falls School. Through “Happy Trails,” we are supporting the TFS Equestrian Program. Here, students learn leadership, discipline, and compassion through the unique bond between horse and rider. Just as a rider and horse must move in sync to navigate a trail, our Junior Conference thrives when we move in harmony toward our goals of service and education.
A journey is only as meaningful as the people you travel with. My primary focus for this administration is to retain the incredible talent we already have while growing our Junior Conference with new voices. By mentoring one another and sharing our passions, we ensure that GFWC Georgia remains a vibrant, welcoming home for every woman.
Thank you for taking this first step with me. I cannot wait to see where the trail leads.
In Junior Federation Spirit,
Tina Neese, Ed.D., LPC GFWC Georgia Director of Junior Clubs

Junior Pledge
The Junior Pledge was written in 1916 by Helen Cheney Kimberly of California, and was adopted in 1930 at the GFWC Convention as the National Junior Pledge.
I pledge my loyalty to the Junior Club women,
By doing better than ever before
What work I have to do;
By being prompt, honest, courteous,
By living each day, trying to accomplish something,
Not merely to exist.
