The Jefferson Educational Society of Erie (JES) is a non-profit institution founded to promote civic enlightenment, and community progress for the Erie Region through the study, research, discussion, of those ideas and events that have influenced the human condition. The Society, therefore, will offer courses, seminars, and lectures which explain the central ideas which have formed the past, assist in exploring the present, and offer guidance to enhance the civic future of the Erie Region.
The Jefferson Civic Leadership Academy Alumni Network is a formal association of graduates of the JCLA who wish to remain active in their community. The organization will promote networking among graduates, cultivate participation in activities that foster community growth, and encourage leadership development among members.
The $50 annual dues (plus $1 processing fee) covers event expenses for members throughout the year, and funds will also be earmarked when available to assist with financial aid for prospective Leadership Academy participants who may need financial assistance to join the program. Questions regarding dues or payment structure can be sent to Alumni Network Chairman Ryan Palm at ryan.palm@gmail.com.
