History
Junior Members are chapter members aged eighteen through thirty-five (until their thirty-sixth birthday). Junior Members enjoy full privileges and rights of membership and are eligible for any chapter, state, or national office. In Nebraska, the Loup Trail Chapter was founded in 1975 by eleven Junior Members. In 1982, Fort Sidney Chapter was featured in the Daughters of the American Revolution magazine with a photograph taken at the Fort Sidney Museum, which pictured eight Junior Members who helped organize the chapter. Junior Members are the heart of our organization!

Leadership

Junior Members have served in a variety of leadership positions at the chapter and state level. Laura Linder, Ellen White, Joan Coker and Mary Dolan served as State President of C.A.R. Juniors serving as state officers include Deborah Welch Aerni, Dawn Feldkamp, Jean Bode, Cherry Felkins, Wendi Callenius, and Candace Cain. Other former Juniors have gone on to become Nebraska State Regents: Jacquelyn Wehrman, 1984-1986; Ellen White, 2000-2002; and LeAnn Reichenberg, 2006-2008. Both Ellen White and LeAnn Reichenberg went on to achieve the honor of being elected Vice President General at the National level.

​Outstanding Juniors

Picture
Nebraska crowns its Outstanding Junior Member each year at the Saturday evening banquet at State Conference. This crown is passed from Junior to Junior.  In 2010, all former Outstanding Junior Members were presented a pin in recognition of their accomplishments in this special sisterhood. Nebraska has had a total of six North Central Division Outstanding Junior winners, with three occurring concurrently in 1995, 1996 and 1997.  

At the national level, in 1985, Deborah Welch Aerni of St. Leger Cowley Chapter was named National Outstanding Junior.  She served two terms as chapter regent, and held several other chapter offices. In 1992, the Nebraska Junior American Citizen top chapter award, a silver tray, was named in her honor. The tray is passed each year to the winner of the contest. In 2013, Candace Jane Cain of the Loup Trail Chapter was named the National Outstanding Junior Runner-Up. Candace has held the chapter office of regent for six years and has served as both chapter registrar and chaplain. She served the State Society as page for six years. ​

Nebraska Junior Doll  ​

Nebraska hosted the 2017 National Junior Doll to raise funds for the National Society's Helen Pouch Fund. This project was led by the Nebraska Outstanding Junior Club. Miss Nebraska features many outfits inspired by outstanding Nebraska women such as Willa Cather, Mari Sandoz, Kay Orr, Evelyn Sharp, and many others.
