The Houston Junior Forum welcomed its new 2023-2024 executive committee. The nonprofit women’s service organization kicked off the new year with a retreat in Galveston. President Susan Rosenbaum gifted each executive-committee member with a pair of flip flops as a tribute to the organization’s theme for this year, Striding to the Future, which were the perfect complement to the beach retreat. The ladies spent their time in Galveston bonding as a group and preparing for another year of service and financial assistance for nonprofit organizations throughout Greater Houston. The Houston Junior Forum executive committee members are (top row, from left): Karen Darnell, Paula Howeth, Julia Heller, Linda West, Deanna Belanger, Krista Parker, Amelia Alder; (bottom row, from left): Diana Root, Betsy Blakeman, Keleigh Sale, Dale Kurtz, and Susan Rosenbaum.
