  In this role, I work with a great team delivering our relationship and employment-focused programs to communities in Georgia and, as we grow, other states. At the same time, I continue to help lead our policy work and provide legal oversight and coordination for the organization. The defining idea of America is a nation where everyone has an opportunity to achieve a better life.
