Become a Member 

Thank you for your interest in joining the Senior-Junior Forum of Wichita Falls! The sole purpose of the Senior-Junior Forum is to benefit the community. Each year, the Senior-Junior Forum trains a group of first-year members (Novices) to be effective volunteers and leaders.

Novices complete a series of training sessions that allow them to learn about the structure of our organization and programs, as well as experience some of our community volunteer opportunities first-hand. The training sessions include attending one or more informational sessions to learn about our community service organizations as well as attending an Executive Board meeting, committee meetings, and general membership meetings each month.

General membership meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month from September through May. All meetings are held in the evening. Dress at all general meetings is business casual attire excluding jeans, shorts, and sports attire.

Membership Orientation Meeting

Another great way to learn more about membership in the Senior-Junior Forum is to attend our annual Membership Orientation Meeting held each spring. Representatives of the Admissions/Novice Committee as well as the Executive Board will be on hand to answer all your questions and guide you through the process to join. Interested women are invited to learn about the process to join and what is involved in being a member of the Senior-Junior Forum. RSVP’s are required.
