AMANDA APPLE-LEISHMAN

Amanda joined the Junior League of Annapolis in the spring of 2014. She has held many roles from Executive Vice President and Treasurer to Education & Training, Placement and Provisional Chair. She realized early on that with JLA you get what you give to the organization. She has met some of the best, brightest and most dedicated women and in order for her to benefit from the experience she needed to step up if she was going to expand her professional resume and grow her leadership experience.

She was the recipient of the Provisional President’s Award in 2014 for leading the Spring Provisional project during the County’s Homeless Resource Day and in 2021 she received the Marie Martin Founder’s Award. She is a native Oregonian and moved to Maryland for work after grad school. She currently is an architectural historian for the federal government. Besides the league Amanda volunteers with Maryland Hall and the SPCA of Anne Arundel County. In her free time she likes to travel to visit family and has an affinity for anything crafty from fiber arts to fused glass!
