Julie Lombardi Named 2026 Chairman of the Board for Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries (CJAMM)
Oklahoma — Criminal Justice and Mercy Ministries (CJAMM) is pleased to announce that Julie Lombardi has been elected to serve as Chairman of the Board for 2026.
Lombardi currently serves as the City Attorney for the City of Owasso, where she works daily with a wide range of legal matters, laws, and complex policy issues. Her extensive professional expertise, paired with her commitment to ethical leadership, makes her a valuable asset to the CJAMM Board.
Beyond her legal work, Lombardi is known for giving back to her community. She mentors young attorneys entering the profession and remains active in her faith community at Owasso Methodist Church.
Her dedication to service aligns closely with CJAMM’s mission of supporting individuals impacted by the criminal justice system and fostering pathways to restoration and hope. Lombardi’s family reflects her commitment to education and service. Her daughter is an attorney with Walmart Inc., and her son is currently pursuing a PhD, preparing for a future in university-level teaching.
“CJAMM is honored to welcome Julie Lombardi’s leadership as Chairman of the Board and looks forward to the insight and vision she will bring to the organization in 2026,” said Keith Dobbs, CJAMM’s executive director.
In addition, CJAMM provides summer camps and programs for children with incarcerated parents. They recently held “New Christmas Day,” a weekend lock-in for children where they hosted games, food, and provided clothing and bedding for the children to take home with them.
CJAMM’s mission is to break the generational cycles of incarceration.
“It’s a great time for Julie’s leadership. She brings so much wisdom to the table,” concluded Dobbs.

Success Stories
Real stories of transformation and hope from individuals whose lives have been changed through CJAMM’s comprehensive programs and commitment to breaking generational cycles.
CJAMM gave me hope when I had none. Through their mentorship program, I found not just employment, but a true purpose in life. Today, I’m a mentor myself, helping others break the cycle that once trapped my family for generations.
New Day Camp was a lifeline for my children during the most difficult time in our family’s life. The counselors and activities helped them heal from trauma and showed them they weren’t defined by our family’s struggles with addiction and incarceration.
Exodus House provided more than just housing – they gave me a foundation to rebuild my entire life. With their support, I’m now employed full-time, reunited with my family, and most importantly, breaking the cycle of abandonment that hurt my children.
