Julie Shull of Chillicothe has been named events program specialist for Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. She will plan, coordinate and execute major OFBF events including the organization’s annual meeting, the Ohio State Fair Land and Living Exhibit, Farm Science Review, the Young Ag Professionals Winter Leadership Experience and Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation’s fundraising events including Cultivating a Cure, Foundation Night Out and the annual golf outing. She also will lead efforts to develop new events that benefit Farm Bureau members and staff.
Shull’s new role is a part of actions taken by Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Adam Sharp to realign staff teams and departments around key strategic plan areas of advocacy, membership, communications, financial strength, strategic partnerships and organizational excellence.

She later served as executive assistant to a senior vice president and was engaged in the department’s work with field staff, membership, leadership development and member benefits. Shull is a graduate of Amanda-Clearcreek High School, and attended Fairfield Career Center and Columbus State Community College. She is a member of the International Association of Administrative Professionals. Shull was actively involved in youth sports in the Circleville area. She and her family now reside in Chillicothe.
