Tell us a bit about what you appreciate about them as an RCB:
Julie is the epitome of strength and leadership; her work for a decade and a half within this community has built it to the point where we are now experiencing the dawn of a new era!
She has been actively involved in community beautification, acquiring and renovating community spaces, and developing the once-vacant downtown district into a desirable area.
She regularly donated 70+ hours of volunteerism per month, writes and manages grants, and even acted as Executive Director of this organization when the need arose. She continues to take an active role, chairing many committees and efforts to grow and caretake our town.
