One of our district social workers, Tesha Larkins, has been named 1 of 16 women in the South Georgia Women's Leadership Initiative 2024-2025 class.
SGWLI Program Coordinator Toni Reid, Tifton Area Manager for Georgia Power, shared her perspective as the program enters its second year. “We are thrilled to have another full class of extraordinary women ready to take full advantage of resources, knowledge and information to make a difference in Southwest region.” Over the two-day retreat, much of which was held at Southern Regional Technical College, strong connections were made early on as women shared their passions, motivations and challenges they’ve faced as female leaders—both in their professional and personal capacities.
Designed to create clarity of voice and intentionality for female leaders across the region, SGWLI’s second cohortis well on its way to building the bridges and support for women’s leadership that will help the region growth and thrive. With emphasis on the unique experiences of female leadership, SGWLI provides women with a platform to discuss the challenges they face in business, education, local government and non-profit management in this part of the state. Sessions will rotate around the region, culminating in an Empowerment Celebration during the month of March in recognition of Women’s History Month.
Join us in congratulating Ms. Larkins for this achievement and for taking the initiative to seek opportunities that will enhance her leadership skills and professional career!
