About Our Speaker:

Julie Hoy is a dynamic and inspirational leader known for her many talents as a songwriter, musician, author, storyteller, humorist, and speaker. Along with her husband, Roger, she co-owns Geppetto’s Italian Restaurant in Salem, which has earned a reputation not only for its delicious Italian cuisine but also for its commitment to inclusivity, hiring individuals with special needs, and fostering a welcoming, family-like environment.
