Constance receives Women’s Fund Champion award

GREELEY — The Women’s Fund of Weld County has recognized outgoing board member Julie Constance for her commitment to improving the lives of women and girls in Weld County.

Constance, a sales executive with BizWest, served on the board of the Women’s Fund for Weld County for six years and received the organization’s Champion for Women award on Saturday, April 14.

“The majority of people, including myself, are in this room today because of one person,” said Julia Roche, a board member and chair of the donor relations committee, in making the presentation. “This person has developed and cultivated relationships for the Women’s Fund of Weld County that have changed the course of this organization. She has given her time, talents, and personal finances to better the lives of women and girls in Weld County.”

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

Roche said that Constance is a “go-getter, relationship developer, giver, mentor and friend.”

Constance, who was term limited after two three-year terms, gave the board a challenge at her last meeting, Roche said. “She charged the rest of us to leave a legacy with the Women’s Fund — to leave a legacy for women and girls in Weld County — wherever we go, whatever we do, to leave it for the better. Julie is a true champion for women.”

The Women’s Fund was established in 1999 with the purpose of creating a permanent fund to find, fund and nurture programs that address unmet needs of women and girls in Weld County and to enable them to become self-confident, independent, contributing members of the community, according to a description of the organization found on the group’s website.
