Jan is a great friend, client and a terrific County Commissioner in Bulloch County.  DeWayne, Edie Grace and I have been long time supporters of Jan.  We have hosted events for her and been great cheer leaders for her throughout her tenure.  Of course, you know I am all about "girl power" so I always enjoy supporting and encouraging capable women in positions of leadership.  From her first election, Jan has exceeded our expectations.  She quickly became a much needed moderate voice on our commission.  She is known for studying the issues and LISTENING to both sides before making her decision.

If you do not know Jan, she is certainly someone you need to get to know. 

As an elected county Commissioner, Jan is a member of an organization comprised of commissioners throughout Georgia.  It is the Association of County Commissioners (ACCG)  It is an important and powerful group of elected officials who unite in one voice on issues of importance to all of our counties in Georgia.

Several years ago Jan was elected to the ACCG board of directors.  In January, she will become President of this impressive organization.  As part of this distinct honor, she will be featured in their monthly magazine in January.  In addition to featuring Jan, they will also feature our community and region that Jan is such an integral part of.

Even though my week has been tremendously hectic just returning from being out of the country for nine days – I made room for Jan to update her head shots for the publication.

Nothing thrills me more than to see friends and clients continue to give of their time and abilities to lead our communities.  Jan is certainly a great example of this. 

I also predict that this is just another step along a very bright path for Jan.  We anxiously await the next step of her journey.
