Self-Nomination for 2025 GVR Pickleball Board of Directors
Position: Member at Large
Nominee: Julianne (Juli) Howell
GVR # 257044
Contact information : Email : Julianne0525@gmail.com; Phone : (503) 949-9122

Bio: As a club member since 2021, I have enjoyed the benefits of the GVR Pickleball Club and look forward to returning to Arizona from Michigan to reunite with my Pickleball friends!
I have been involved in club projects, including the new member welcoming committee and the GVR Club Showcase. In 2024, Mike Goodrich and I organized a Sunday “open” round robin series. This event brought over 50 members of various skill levels together to play, mentor and socialize.
Previous Experience: As a physical therapist I have operated my own business and developed the business/operations model for hand and upper extremity therapy clinics for a healthcare corporation. I have served on national and international Boards for Hand Therapy and Surgery. I thrive when mentoring young researchers and collaborating with colleagues on peer-reviewed research. My computer, writing and communication skills are excellent, and I feel strongly that I will be able to make valuable contributions to the Board and collaborate well with club members.
Purpose: I would like to serve this organization as a Member at Large by offering my passion to pursue current and future agenda needs, offer new insights and hopefully inspire (and encourage) others to volunteer. I have the capacity to listen to the needs of all club members and hear what is being said without bias.
My passion for an organization is driven and inspired by the dedicated people within that organization. We are fortunate to have excellent club leadership, and I am interested in contributing to the club’s future success.
Thank you for considering my self-nomination.
Juli Howell
