Board of Directors
Shelby Ryann Dolezal joined the Junior League of Billings in 2023 to reconnect with and give back to the Billings community. She was inspired to be a part of the leadership team after witnessing the welcoming environment and positive impact of the Junior League of Billings.
Shelby grew up moving across the country as a Coast Guard brat before her family settled back in their home state of Montana. She finished school in Billings before attending the University of Montana, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. She then attended Notre Dame Law School. Shelby is a founding partner of Buckley Maxwell Dixon Dolezal PC, a boutique employee benefits law firm.
Shelby enjoys visiting our local parks and farmer's market on weekends. She also enjoys movies, travel, reading, and obsessing over her cats.
Angie Buckley serves as the 2026–2027 President-Elect for the Junior League of Billings, and previously led as Membership Chair. A recipient of the 2025–2026 JLB Volunteer of the Year award, Angie is known for her leadership, steady commitment, and deep passion for empowering women in the community.
Originally from Eastern Montana, Angie has called Billings home since 2005. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Communication from the University of North Dakota before continuing her education at MSU Billings, receiving her Master of Science in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. Angie has spent over a decade as a licensed therapist in private practice, building a career centered on supporting others through growth, healing, and connection - work that continues to shape her approach to leadership and service.
Within JLB, Angie is a driving force behind the 2026–2027 educational series, Every Woman, All Things, focusing on women’s mental health. Her professional background and personal passion make her a powerful advocate for creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and equipped to thrive.
Angie joined the League at the encouragement of her sister, Andi, a member of Junior League of Houston, and has been all-in ever since. Outside of League life, she enjoys gardening, reading, traveling, and spending time with her husband, Scott, and their five- year-old dachshund, Joey. She’s equally devoted to a good morning espresso and an evening dirty soda. For Angie, Junior League is about showing up, stepping in, and making a difference—and she’s always ready to welcome the next woman who’s curious enough to do the same.
Emily Wood, a proud Montana native, recently made the move to Billings and has quickly embraced the strong sense of community and connection that makes the city so special. Becoming involved with the Junior League of Billings has been one of the most meaningful parts of her transition, giving her the opportunity to connect with inspiring, driven women who share a passion for service and creating positive change.
Professionally, she serves as an Implementation Manager, where she thrives on learning, problem-solving, and building strong partnerships with customers to help support their success. Outside of her career, she enjoys staying active and adventurous through hiking, skiing, and traveling. She is honored to serve as Secretary on the Junior League of Billings Board and looks forward to contributing her talents and leadership to further the organization’s impact in the community.
Cassey Strebeck moved 1,500 miles to Montana to advance her career, without having visited the state or experiencing a true winter. While others call her adventurous, she says she simply does what’s needed for her family, as her father taught her. She brings experience, adaptability, and commitment to the team.
She has logged hundreds of volunteer hours in outdoor and environmental activities, including educational talks, community outreach, youth engagement, project liaising, and project management. To meet others and broaden her impact, she joined the Junior League of Billings, expanding her volunteer work from environmental causes to broader social and community engagement.
This commitment to service is also reflected in her military background. She is a Navy SEABEE veteran who chose the SEABEES for their humanitarian work, enlisting as an E-1 despite an offer to enlist as an E-4 hull tech. Most would disagree with this choice, but this decision exemplifies her values and dedication. Now, she is working towards completing her first missionary service to bring cleaner water to underdeveloped areas.
When she’s not dedicated to advancing her career or serving others, Cassey spends time with her teens and her pom-chi. Together, they seek epic views, chase thrills, solve mysteries, find hidden treasures, and play hide-and-seek with Bigfoot, creating new memories in Montana and knocking out her #bucketlist
