Since 1992, Julianna McConnell has been one of the most consistent and committed voices for women in the state of Georgia. As Vice Chair and the only remaining original commissioner of the Georgia Commission on Women, she has helped shape the laws, build the coalitions, and lead the initiatives that have made Georgia safer and healthier for women and families across the state. In this profile, Julianna reflects on over 30 years of public service — the victories, the evolution of the commission, and her message to every Georgia woman about the power of civic engagement.

Karla Jacobs has been a commissioner with the Georgia Commission on Women for 14 years — and in that time, she's helped pass landmark legislation protecting human trafficking victims, trained hotels across Georgia to recognize and respond to trafficking, and is now leading efforts to prepare Atlanta-area hotels ahead of the FIFA World Cup. In this Day in the Life profile, Karla talks about her professional journey, why having a commission dedicated to women's issues matters, and what she wants every woman in Georgia to know about the power they have to change their communities.
