USA Patriotism! recognizes Judy Seale for her noble patriotic efforts!

As President and CEO of Judy Seale International (JSI), Judy Seale entered the music industry not as an entertainer . . . but as one of the first producers of Alabama’s largest fund-raising events, the George Lindsey Celebrity Golf Tournament and Concert for Special Children.

Judy Seale later moved to Tulsa to work with Roy Clark’s benefit golf tournament and concert.  Soon she joined the Jim Halsey Company in Tulsa and was eventually relocated with the company to Nashville. Her competence, capabilities and dependability with the Halsey Company ultimately led to the title of Executive Vice-President in charge of day-to-day operations and international touring.

In 1990, Judy Seale partnered with Refugee Management International where she co-managed the careers of Jo Dee Messina, Holly Dunn, the Forester Sisters, George "Goober" Lindsey, Minnie Pearl, and the Desert Rose Band among others. Since establishing JSI in 2001, management clients have included Jolie Edwards and Pat Boone. She currently coordinates all international tours for the Bellamy Brothers and orchestrates the only country music festival in Japan. She is a talent coordinator for numerous festivals throughout Europe and Asia.

Judy Seale's charitable endeavors include soliciting artists to perform for the U.S. military based throughout the world. These military tours have provided welcomed entertainment for troops serving in the conflicts in Haiti, Bosnia, Macedonia, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Qatar and Kosovo as well as Christmas Tours for troops away from family and friends while based in remote locations during the holidays.

Since the theatre of conflict in the Balkans began in 1996, Judy Seale has escorted artists into that war-torn area eleven times.  In the past ten years, she has participated in more than 60 tours dedicated to entertaining our troops stationed overseas.

In 2003, Judy Seale realized the fulfillment of a long-time dream with the launch of a new venture, Stars for Stripes.  The non-profit organization that provides quality entertainment to internationally deployed U.S. military forces; promotes patriotism and civic pride among the troops; and, educate the general public regarding various aspects of U. S. military history and engagement.
