The Lake Junaluska Associates is an organization of individuals who love Lake Junaluska and want to serve in partnership with the Lake Junaluska Assembly.
The Junaluska Associates was formed in 1968 to assist Lake Junaluska in meeting its mission and ministry by recruiting 1,000 individuals to give $100.00 per year. It was the primary fund-raising arm of Lake Junaluska and effectively served that purpose for many years.
At its 2016 annual meeting, the Associates Board of Directors approved the concept of restructuring and revitalizing this important support arm of Lake Junaluska. The goal of revitalization is for the Associates to be more highly integrated into Lake Junaluska’s overall advancement efforts, to reduce duplication and to gain a much larger support base.
Today, the Junaluska Associates Council is led by chairperson Bernie Brown. The goals of the Associates are to:
To be part of the Lake Junaluska Associates, an individual or household must give $250 annually to support Lake Junaluska. This does NOT have to be directed to capital giving or to a specific project.
