I have had the pleasure of knowing Julie Wilson for one year as I interned at the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS). Julie has a pleasant demeanor and is an excellent communicator and organizer. While interning at GBCS, I reported directly to Ms. Wilson and found her to be an asset when trying to understanding the structure of the Methodist Church as well as how to incorporate mercy and justice into ministry activities. Julie is flexible in fast-paced environments and her ability to work with persons from all walks of life has made her stand out among many people I have had the pleasure working with in ministry.

Julie is passionate about her work and walk as she serves with the General Board of Church & Society. She is willing to answer questions and help one find the appropriate avenue if she doesn't have the answers.
