Julie Hodge, Okotoks

​

I’m Julie (the Hodge one!) and have been an Okotoks resident since Fall 2015. We moved from Calgary wanting to trade city life for a quieter, safer and friendlier community (with plenty of parking spaces!) to raise our soon to be born daughter in. I’m grateful we found all of that and more in Okotoks! Julie (the Boake one!) was, in fact, my  first friend here in town and she’s been an inspiration to me since. It seems fitting therefore, and perhaps more than a little divinely guided, to ask for your vote in honoring me to help lead this group in it’s continuing journey.

I run a business in Okotoks and as an active participant in volunteering and sitting on various boards and committees not only do I have experience in communication, diplomacy and compassion, I also have a strong personal mandate to be even more a blessing to our community, businesses and residents as we all continue to grow.

​

I think for me, my plan would be to utilize the power of social media from all my own personal tools, combined with the group infrastructure you’ve already built out, combined with old fashioned networking when out and about to share and spread the word. In future I’d be curious about opportunities to represent the group at markets, fundraising events and such. Asking existing members as a “challenge” to set a personal goal of helping build the membership by “finding a friend” to join would be great as well.

​

I would love your vote and work hard from my heart to serve 100 Women Who Care well.
