Member Spotlight

Once again, the Member Spotlight shines. This time the beam catches Julia Jackson. The BAodn Board wants to send its appreciation to Julia, who with her MBA and ACC has been volunteering with the Women in Leadership (WiL) Program since October 2008. Her contributions in planning, organizing and executing 2009 WiLWorking sessions have been extraordinarily valuable. Julia's background includes change, process and technology implementation, consulting at Accenture, and account management (recruiting and staffing) at Robert Half International. In addition to being an active BAodn volunteer she is a certified international coach and a board member for the Mt. Diablo ASTD. Our sincere gratitude to Julia for all of her work. Julia can be reached at www.juliacjackson.com.
