Julie Barry, MBA, is Senior Development Officer at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine. She has spent 25 years in fundraising, in areas such as education, health care, and social services. Previously she worked at Columbus State Community College and Franklin University. The common thread throughout her career has been working with diverse populations to encourage involvement and giving. Most recently, Julie led a capstone project for The Ohio State University Inclusive Excellence Team Certificate Program to educate the advancement team on diverse philanthropy. This initiative kickstarted a plan to diversify portfolios and open conversation with leadership on how to accomplish this work. In her spare time, Julie loves to spend time with her husband, two children, 2 dogs, and a cat (not necessarily in that order!).
