Meet Julie Cervetto, Marin County Bar Association’s New Executive Director

Kristine Fowler Cirby

Julie Cervetto joined MCBA on January 8, 2024, as our new Executive Director. Previously she was the Executive Director of the Larkspur Chamber of Commerce, a position she held for four years. While at the Larkspur Chamber, Julie grew the membership significantly and made the Wine Stroll a huge financial success.

Before working for the Larkspur Chamber, Julie was the Director of Special Events for Berkeley Repertory Theater. There, among other successes, she exceeded fundraising goals, implemented and oversaw successful Galas, Opening Night and donor events, and developed training programs for her team and the volunteer program.

On a more personal level, Julie was born and raised in Marin County, attending Marin Catholic High School, College of Marin and San Francisco State University. She is one of six children, five girls and one boy. Julie currently lives in Novato.

Julie loves to read, especially mysteries and historical novels. She is a huge fan of author James Patterson. When she reads, she is able to relax and go into a new world. She also loves walking with her dog and spending time with her family.

Julie raised four boys in Marin County and is extremely proud that they are doing well in their lives. Three sons remain in the Bay Area, and one moved to Tahoe to work remotely. After raising her boys, she enjoys spending time with her two granddaughters, Ellie, age 6 and Annabelle, age 4. Julie also loves sharing time with her friends. She has remained close with her group of ten friends from high school, and the group plans activities several times per year to stay in touch.

At MCBA, Julie is excited to learn more about the legal community and the issues that go with the practice of law. She acknowledges that she has a huge learning curve but is up to the challenge. She appreciates working with the MCBA Board, whom she has found to be very supportive, and she loves meeting each of the members.

Please say hello to Julie at MCBA’s next event!
