As Director of Education and Workforce Initiatives for The Boeing Company, Joyce had overall responsibility for building the company’s community investment programs in education. She provided program subject matter expertise, philosophy and strategic direction and interfaced with a network of U.S. and international community investors who act on behalf of The Boeing Company.

She served on the Museum of Flight's education steering committee and is a former board member for the Foundation for Early Learning, South Pierce County Chamber of Commerce and Washington Special Olympics games management team.
