Membership in Las Patronas is classified by two categories: Active and Advisory Membership. Active members serve six to seven years and lend a variety of hands-on talents and skills contributing to the production of the annual Jewel Ball. Active members also serve on the Las Patronas Board of Directors, steering the organization’s daily enterprise as well as the Las Patronas Grants Committee, which directs beneficiaryfunding.The Grants Committee makes on-site visits to each and every non-profit organization that applies to Las Patronas for a grant, as well as thoroughly assesses each organization’s request and prioritizes available funding. Funding is primarily derived from the proceeds of the Jewel Ball.

Advisory members are those who have served their terms of active service and support Las Patronas through the payment of Advisory dues and provide other avenues of support.
