Past League Presidents

Below is a list of the past presidents of the Nakoma League, from the very founders to today’s leaders. The Nakoma League has evolved through the years, as the women who led it have evolved. And, although they served in different times and in different ways, they all have in common their love of this neighborhood and the people who live here. All of these women have done Nakoma a great service. So we say thank you.
