In 1988, Julie Ewart Meenan graduated
from CSULB with her bachelor’s degree, accepting her diploma while
pregnant with her oldest of two daughters. She went on to nurture a
growing family and simultaneously build a successful career. As
Executive Director of the Josephine S. Gumbiner Foundation (JSGF) she
works closely with the Foundation’s board to provide grants to nonprofit
organizations that enrich the lives of women and children in Long
Beach. With over 25 years as Executive Director, Meenan believed further
education would bring a higher level of knowledge to her work.
