Former Miss Chattahoochee Valley 1990 - 1999

1999 Julie Smith West
Julie was Miss Alabama until June of 1999. She married in September of 2000 and moved to Florida where she has worked in various aspects of the media business. She has worked as talent in a Christian television pilot and in several national commercials. She has written a book for Middle School students about good decision making skills. She has worked as the Executive in Charge of Production for The GodMan, which is an hour-long computer-animated television special about the life of Christ, which aired in 30 cities across the nation on Easter weekend. She has also worked at the local FOX affiliate as a news writer. Recently she took on the full time job of being a mommy to son Colby that was born in February 2005.

Julie's most memorable moment as Miss Chatt was being able to speak at all of the schools, the wonderful leadership team that helped her get ready for Miss Alabama, which helped her as she went to Miss America. The wonderful support of the community when she came back to the area as Miss Alabama. Julie states, " The community is very kind and I enjoyed getting to meet and become friends with so many people."

Her advise to the future Miss Chatts, "Work hard as Miss Chatt, making appearances and getting ready for Miss Alabama, so you can look back and know that you did your best. Doing your best is the most important thing....not who gets the top score. Know that God is in control of what happens."

Julie would like to share with anyone who considers participating in the program - "Its a wonderful way to earn college scholarship money and to improve your communication skills and your self-confidence. Your improved communication skills will help you for the rest of your life as you interview for jobs and enter the workforce."

Julie won the Nora Chapman Award, was a Double Preliminary winner and won a Virginia McDormand Community Service Honorable Mention at Miss Alabama 1999.

At Miss America, Julie was a Top Ten Finalist and was 2nd Runner Up to the Quality of Life Award.
