Meet our 2026-2027 Executive Officers

Grayson Schemer, Chapter President

President’s Message:
I am honored to serve as the Junior Auxiliary of Eastern Shore President for 2026-2027. I joined the JAES because our projects directly uplift children and families in our community, from blessing bags and hygiene packs to Thanksgiving boxes, prom dresses, and empowerment through Stand Beside Her. I would encourage any woman who wants to roll up her sleeves and make a tangible difference to join JAES. You’ll find purpose, friendship, and the chance to put compassion into action. Together, we amplify our impact and ensure kids across the Eastern Shore have the support they deserve.

Leigh Ann Walker, Vice-President

Vice President’s Message:
I first learned about JAES by donating dresses for Project Prom and later seeing the Blessing Trees in the grocery store during Christmas. Seeing the impact of these projects inspired me to get involved, meet other women, and give back to my community. I attended the provisional social to learn more and quickly realized that JAES was a place for women in all stages of life who share a passion for serving others. I took a leap of faith and gave it a try, and I’m so glad I did! JAES has given me meaningful opportunities to serve, friendships I truly treasure, and a greater connection to my community. I truly believe charity begins at home, and I can’t think of a better way to give back than by investing in the children of Baldwin County.
