Leadership
The Lombard Junior Women's Club (LJWC) is run by women just like you, that have a passion for giving back to our community through service. Every two years, a new executive board and committee chairs are elected to ensure we are living out the LJWC mission.

Amy O'Callaghan
Vice-President/President-Elect
Amy grew up in Chicago, Illinois and moved to Elmhurst in 1999, then to Lombard in 2001. She joined LJWC in 2022 after her daughter went through the Lombard Princess program. Amy was very impressed by the program and wanted to give back to the club that gave so much joy to her daughter. She quickly realized LJWC was for her and volunteered to be a committee chairperson for the Art and Culture group just a few months after joining. Amy works as a Early Childhood Special Education teacher at a local school district, where she supports the districts' youngest learners. Amy volunteers for First Church of Lombard's youth community as well as other church related teams. She continues to live in Lombard with her husband, fur baby and 3 college aged children when they are not away at school. She enjoys when all 3 kids are back at home and the house is a little more active with adult children filling the house. When Amy is not volunteering at her church, for a committee at work, or LJWC she is off visiting someone at college or enjoying spending time with her husband and/or friends.

Treasurer
Tania grew up in Plainfield, IL then moved to a small town in Wisconsin in 1995. She moved to Lombard in 2003 to her mother’s family home. She joined LJWC in 2023 after attending a meet and greet with the hopes of finding something meaningful to do with her spare time as a stay-at-home mom. She quickly felt at home with all of the members and volunteered to manage the monthly newsletter, Jottings. After her first year in the club, she volunteered to chair the Cocktails and Candy Canes Pub Crawl, the proceeds of which go directly to the LJWC Philanthropic Fund. Tania works as a Risk Management & Compliance Specialist at DeSpir Logistics Network.
