Originally from the South, born in Selma, Alabama, BJ lived all over the United States before moving to Seattle, Washington. Prior to working at The Boeing Company, jobs included banking; Mack Trucks; RCA Cable Engineering; Kennedy Space Center; and BE&K Construction Company. At Boeing, BJ was a Contracts Procurement Manager at Fort Irwin, CA; Bruceton Research Center; Pittsburgh, PA; and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in New Orleans, LA. After moving to Seattle for Boeing, BJ negotiated international defense contracts, and then, as an Empowered Official, moved parts and technology around the world, followed by work in Patents. Since retiring from Boeing, BJ has her own Amway business; currently manages an apartment complex; and volunteers weekly at a food bank.

For fun, BJ enjoys being outdoors, hiking, and gardening. “Throw a few chickens in and you have a full day.”

What BJ values most is helping and empowering others to be the best versions of them. Her philosophy:  Life is about relationships, striving to be better no matter what the circumstances, and having gratitude, which she has in abundance for being be able to work with such a great organization in promoting and educating individuals on conservative values.

Meetings are generally conducted from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM, with a social hour starting at 6:00 PM and dinner at 6:30 PM. (Dinner is optional but encouraged, since this is how we pay for the room).  Our goal is always to end the meeting by 8:30 PM and sometimes we are actually successful.  J

Each meeting begins with an Invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance. The President opens the meeting and provides a Welcome message.
