About Director

The country-wide success of the National League of Junior Cotillions is a direct result of the outstanding individuals who have been selected as chapter directors. After nearly 30 years of dedicating her life to cotillion, Susan Humphries, former NLJC Director was ready to pass the torch. After much consideration she thought perhaps a past parent of her very program would be a good fit for our area. Melissa Delk has been an active member of the Texarkana area for over two decades. She moved here after meeting her husband while they attended Texas Tech University. She has served as Office Manager for John's law office while serving the community in many roles. She is currently the President of P.E.O. Chapter V, a sustainer in the Junior League of Texarkana, past board member of Harvest Texarkana, and past vestry member at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. Melissa’s dedication to children starts at home as a mother of five children (Mathew, Franklin, Ian, Willard, & Marilyn Grace). She knows the importance of passing on good values. Her passion for children led her to volunteer as an advocate for abused and neglected children with CASA. Currently she has expanded her work with children even further by working in the classroom for the Texarkana Independent School District at Waggoner Creek Elementary.  Melissa is thrilled to bring NLJC back to the area for her younger children and generations to come.
