The National League of Junior Cotillions is proud to honor and recognize Michael Frogge, former Junior Cotillion student of the Northern Guilford Chapter.  Michael has upheld the pillars of honor, dignity, and respect as a student athlete at Wake Forest University.  NLJC is delighted to see students just like Michael become leaders and influential members within their communities.

Each year, Cotillion students and Directors nationwide nominate numerous individuals for the “Ten  Best-Mannered People” award. NLJC® strives to recognize the individuals that students look to as frontrunners in social etiquette, all-encompassing manners, and overall, with strong and replicable leadership qualities. These traits are the essence of the NLJC curriculum and foundational components that are embedded within the Junior Cotillion curriculum which has served over 50,000 students to date.

Because of the lasting impacts that this program has made on students all over the country, NLJC is currently seeking Directors nationwide to expand into new and available territories across the country. Each chapter is an independent franchise operated by a local Director. Our next New Director Training will take place in February of 2022 in Charlotte, NC and provides applicants with the opportunity to get an inside look at the National League of Junior Cotillions distinguished programs.
