  In her life, Julia has chosen a professional path in the field of 
accounting, and is a Certified Public Accountant [CPA] in the State of 
New York. She earned an M.B.A. from New York University and is a member 
of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the 
Institute of Management Accountants. Mrs. James has established an 
accounting practice that provides accounting expertise to local 
businesses and community organizations.
  A dedicated community worker, Julia serves as a member of Community 
School Board District No. 18, which represents the East Flatbush and 
Canarsie areas of Brooklyn. She is also the chairperson of the East 
Brooklyn Community Organization which is a community based organization 
dedicated to improving the quality of life of residents in East 
Flatbush. I am pleased to recognize her personal achievements and 
community involvement.
