President's Message
Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated was founded in 1938 by a group of dedicated women who desired to offer opportunities for their children to gracefully enter adulthood. In 1992, that vision inspired 24 dynamic mothers and community leaders to charter the Sensational South Belt Houston Chapter. Since then, our chapter has been a pillar in our community, serving not only our children but all children. With nearly 100 active mothers and over 70 associates, we are dedicated to upholding the standard of excellence established for our illustrious organization.
It is my distinct honor and privilege to serve as the fifteenth Chapter President alongside a dedicated group of mothers committed to nurturing the next generation of Black leaders, stimulating social and cultural relationships through meaningful experiences for our children.
Our administration’s theme, “The Spirit of ’38: Where Legacy Meets the Next Level,” reflects our deep respect for the vision established by both our founders in 1938 and our chartering mothers in 1992, as well as our commitment to building boldly upon that legacy. We honor the generations of mothers who came before us while embracing new opportunities to, in the words of Founder Marion Stubbs Thomas, “bestow upon our children all the opportunities possible for a normal and graceful approach to beautiful adulthood”.
As we move forward together, we are energized by our purpose and prepared to take our chapter to the next level. We invite you to learn more about our programs and service initiatives and to experience the extraordinary spirit of our chapter as we continue to lead with excellence. Long Live Jack and Jill!
Amber Hackett Crosby, Esq.
