Meet the Executive – Jodi Barrass
Jodi originally joined the Royal Canadian Legion at the age of eighteen, in Baron Bing, Toronto. She moved to B.C. and joined the Billy Bishop branch in Kitsilano. She left for a while and was busy with life, then rejoined the Maple Ridge branch around five years ago.
Jodi’s grandfather is a veteran and a long time member of the RCL, he was the inspiration for her to join at a young age. Her father in law was also a veteran and was a prisoner of war in North Africa during the Second World War.
She is on the Membership Committee with Lynda McEwan, and is the Co-Chair of the Finance Committee with John Yoxall. Prior to joining the Executive this year, Jodi was a very active member of the Ladies Auxiliary.
Her vision for our branch this year is to get back to basics with proper operational management, using resources that we have in the expertise of legion membership. She would like to see an expanding relationship between all members of different ages and services.
She is a business owner, and likes to read in her (very limited) spare time. She is also a busy proud hockey and baseball mom!
