Central Region


A Welcome From Our Director
Joanna Pruitt
Regional Director
I am truly honored to serve as the 28th Regional Director of the Central Region of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. For eighty-seven years, our organization has stood as a beacon of advocacy, leadership, and service—empowering families to make a lasting impact in our communities and across the world.

The Central Region is rich in history, culture, and pride, spanning seven dynamic states in the heartland of America. From the rolling plains of Oklahoma, through the golden fields of Kansas, across the majestic heights of Colorado, and into the corn belt of Iowa; from Illinois, the birthplace of Route 66, through Missouri, home of ragtime, jazz, and blues, and finally into the scenic natural state of Arkansas—we are a region of vast landscapes, resilient people, and boundless possibilities.
It is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that we unite to do the work of our beloved organization during this program year and in the future. Let us be reminded of the strength we carry when we work together in unity. Our charge is to remain focused, do the work with intention, and embrace a harmonious spirit for the elevation of our children in service.
We will embrace the theme for 2025-2027, Empowered to Serve: Lead with Heart, Serve with Purpose, and Grow with Excellence. Through this lens, we will continue to uplift our children, cultivate their leadership, and model the values of service and excellence in every endeavor. By leading with heart, we demonstrate compassion; by serving with purpose, we create impact; and by growing with excellence, we ensure that our legacy thrives for generations to come.
Together, let us rise to the call of leadership, support one another in sisterhood, and remain steadfast in our mission through the power of service.
