Julie French serves as the Spouse Program Manager at the COMMIT Foundation. With two decades of personal experience as a military spouse, Julie intimately understands the challenges facing military families, especially as families leave military service. In her role, Julie is instrumental in creating tailored assistance programs that address the unique needs of military spouses. Recognizing their pivotal role in veterans' well-being and success, she ensures they receive the necessary resources and guidance for a smooth transition from military to civilian life. She orchestrates spouse-focused workshops, fosters mentorship opportunities, and creates a community for military spouses during this challenging time. Julie returned home to Helena, MT after her husband retired from the Navy. She enjoys reading, playing and teaching piano, and spending quality time with her husband, Michael, and their seven children. Thanks!
