Junior Executive Committee
Courtney Evans, Director of Junior Clubs
Courtney was born and raised in Columbia, SC, where she earned her B.A. in Business Administration from Columbia College. She is the proud mom of one daughter, Kinsley, who was a charter member of the GFWC-SC Jessamines.
Since joining the Junior Woman’s Club of Columbia in 2016, Courtney has worn many hats—Fellowship Chair, Youth Resources Fundraising Co-chair, Special Assistant to the President, Treasurer, Activities VP, and President. She has been honored by her club as both Provisional of the Year and Clubwoman of the Year. As a result of her service, she also serves on the Board of Directors for Palmetto Place Children & Youth Services, a home for unaccompanied youth founded by the Junior Woman’s Club of Columbia in 1977.
At the state level, Courtney has served four terms as GFWC-SC Credentials Chair, served on the Scholarship Fund, and was selected as the GFWC-SC 2021 LEADS candidate. Most recently, she was honored with the prestigious GFWC-SC Carol Vann Rowland & Susan Vann Haynes Junior Clubwoman of Achievement Award.
And then there’s Courtney herself. Her infectious laugh can be heard from just about anywhere in the room, and she is the kind of friend who would quite literally offer you the shirt off her back. She loves people, loves to laugh, and somehow always manages to make things a little more fun.
Professionally, Courtney is a licensed Property Manager with more than 20 years of experience in property management. Throughout her career, she has demonstrated strong leadership and has enjoyed mentoring others along the way.
Courtney proudly refers to herself as a “Chaos Coordinator,” specializing in what she likes to call FUN-ctional planning and organization. She is a charter member of Wild University, a vibrant online and in-person community for paper planners, stationery lovers, journaling enthusiasts, and creative organizers. When she’s not organizing something, she can often be found attending planner and stationery conferences, creating planners of her own, or encouraging others to discover the joy—and sanity—that a little planning and organization can bring.
In short, Courtney loves serving others, bringing people together, staying organized, and having a whole lot of fun while doing it.
Ann Dosen, Director-Elect of Junior Clubs
My name is Ann Cavileer Dosen. I lead with heart, vision, and tireless dedication.
I have been an active member of the Chapin Junior Women’s Club since 2018, serving as VP of Membership and Club President. I have had the honor of leading our club through significant growth and renewed community impact.
I am the owner and founder of PodiatryMeetings.com, a nationally recognized media and events company serving the podiatry industry.
Originally from Clearwater, Florida, I relocated to Chapin in 2018. I am a proud mom of three boys, 16-year-old Mickey, 11-year-old Henry, and 2-year-old Joey. I am passionate about creating a welcoming space where women feel a sense of connection and purpose.
Fun fact: my dog Moose, a 100-pound Weimador, was a gift from Zac Brown of the Zac Brown Band.
Being a member of the Chapin Junior Woman’s Club has changed my life, and I am honored to be part of a group of women who are changing lives every day.
