 As
the political climate shifted in the 1970's and the country once
again rebounded from war trials and tribulations, the Junior Chamber
re-energized itself with a concentrated interest in community based
sports activities and events, an expanded focus on youth affairs,
development of music and fine arts and promotion of business and
governmental affairs.
Milestones
for this decade included a change in Junior Chamber by-laws which
permitted women into membership for the first time in the Junior
Chamber's history. Among the first women to join included prominent
city and civic leaders: Pat Russell, L.A. City Council 6th District;
Pat Delaney, Commissioner of the LA Board of Recreation & Parks;
and Joan Flores, Administrative Deputy to LA City Council President.
 In
addition the inclusion of women in membership, the Junior Chamber
extended its reach across the globe in the form of the World Affairs
Committee who's purpose was to encourage world trade for the Los
Angeles area and work toward improvement of the commercial, cultural
and social relationships with other nations.
