For her ongoing support and involvement with veterans, in 2014, she was awarded the Deborah Sampson Award for the Massachusetts Outstanding Woman Veteran of the Year. Since retiring in 2009, Julie has given back to the people of Attleboro as a member of the Sturdy Memorial Foundation, Rotary Club of Attleboro, and the Attleboro POW/MIA Council, to name just a few. She is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #115, the American Legion Post 20 and the Disabled American Veterans Post 91. Recently, Julie was overwhelmingly elected to the Attleboro City Council demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her community and its??? residents.
The Unsung Heroines are women who don???t make the news, but make the difference. They are the women who use their time, talent and enthusiasm to enrich the lives of others and make a difference in their neighborhoods, cities and towns. They are mentors, volunteers and innovators who do what needs to be done without expectations of recognition or gratitude. These women are the glue that keeps a community together and every community is better because of their contribution.????????
The Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women is an independent state agency that was legislatively created in 1998 to advance women of the Commonwealth to full equality in all areas of life and to promote their rights and opportunities. The MCSW provides a permanent, effective voice for the women of Massachusetts.
