Featured Over 50 Athlete – Maggie Joslin

Meet this week’s over 50 athlete, Maggie Joslin, 67.

When you meet Maggie Joslin, you might not guess that this elegant beauty is a revolutionary. But she is. The daughter of a Detroit police officer and housewife and a product of a Catholic school education, Maggie broke free of her traditional background and set her own path.

She defied the odds and managed to balance life as a mother to two children, with the demands of being a partner in a busy public finance practice.
