Bio
Courtney Q. Shore
At the Girl Scouts of the USA, we undertook the daunting task of creating a first-ever national Marketing and Communications network, between our national office and our 300 state based councils. We connected the best Communications Directors from around the country to join our natonal Marcomm Network, whose mission it was to position and consistently manage the iconic brand of the Girl Scouts. Julie Somogyi was chosen as a charter member for her consistent, tireless and effective attention to excellence, integrity and results. Julie is extremely well regarded among her peers for her unfailing intuition and expertise in her field. Julie is an energetic, intelligent brand manager and communicator who delivers results against the most complicated of initiatives. I enthusiastically endorse and recommend her as one of the finest professionals with whom I have had the pleasure to work. Courtney Q. Shore

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Julie on the Girl Scouts of the USA's MarComm Network. Julie is a talented professional with an incredible knowledge of public relations. Her knowledge and strategies were instrumental in our project’s success. She is a wonderful leader and role model who goes above and beyond to make a project successful. Julie is also very supportive of others, encouraging them to take more leadership roles and mentoring them along the way. I have the highest respect for Julie and I am delighted to recommend her.
