Mrs. Darlene McGhee Whittington
28th National President

Welcome!​

​

It is with a spirit of joy, hope, and expectation that I greet you as the 28th National President of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our beloved organization.​

​

Jack and Jill has an excellent foundation thanks to past national, regional, and chapter leadership since 1938. The 2024-2026 National Executive Board is excited and prepared to take this organization to the next level! We are eager to see our Mother Members discover the best in children through innovative and effective programming, which we consider the heart of Jack and Jill. Our commitment is to engage the power in unified Black Motherhood and Families to ensure that our children and ALL children can grow and thrive in this world.

​

A transformational leader, I am unapologetic about our mission to nurture and build future African American leaders during this critical time in history. I also recognize the need to mobilize our alumni–the leaders we have already built—to ensure that Jack and Jill of America evolves and continues to make significant, positive contributions to society. Together, the 2024-2026 National Executive Board looks forward to working with our families, partners, and additional stakeholders to elevate the organization’s meaningful work. Although we represent seven geographical regions, we are one Jack and Jill.
Let’s innovate, impact, and inspire!​
