Community Director: Morgan Decker

Morgan works as a School Psychologist for Collier County Public Schools and as a part-time sales associate at Lilly Pulitzer. Since moving to Florida in June 2022, I was looking for a way to become more involved in serving the local community. The Junior League of Fort Myers offered her the perfect opportunity. Morgan has spent a majority of her early life volunteering and working with several community based
organizations.

Morgan looks forward to continuing to grow our current community relationships and look forward to forging new ones as well! I’ve always
enjoyed helping others and this role seemed like the perfect fit. I would aim to work collaboratively with the other board members to continue to grow the amazing organization that is the Junior League of Fort Myers. I am thankful for the friendships I’ve fostered thus far and would look forward to continuing to meet more members.

She attended Florida State University and her background is the fashion industry.

She was involved in the Marketing and Training and Development Committees and loved getting to know new faces and learning about her hometown. Enjoying the volunteerism and friendships made in Fort Lauderdale, Sara transferred to the Fort Myers League wanting to learn more about the SWFL community when making the change to move to the West Coast. Being the Community Director on the 2022-23 Board of Directors this past year, has been a great experience for her to share her love of volunteerism with the community and continue to learn about the history of Fort Myers and the SWFL community She is most looking forward to furthering connections she has made this year and continuing to grow the league with community outreach and membership. Sara enjoys making connections and networking throughout the league, while making our community one brighter place at a time. Outside of the League, Sara loves anything by the water, checking out new restaurants in town, and grabbing coffee with a friend.

Karen moved to Fort Myers in 2014 but grew up and had a family in Massachusetts (born in Boston, grew up in Foxboro and lived with my husband in Norfolk).   I joined the Junior League of Fort Myers to make friends (I worked remotely) and to volunteer in the community (and learn about the area).

I have an undergrad degree in Business from the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth.   I’ve worked with and for non-profit organizations in the database area (CRM – Customer Relationship Management and marketing) for most of my career.   I retired on April 1st and plan to fill some of my time with volunteering.

Special experience or meaningful achievement:   Going on a Mediterranean cruise, experiencing an excursion in each of the five ports, spending a week in a villa in Rome and visiting all of the sites (Vatican, St Peter’s Basilica, Coliseum, etc.) with my husband and nine other family members.   We took three weeks off from work – amazing!
