FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Smith Joins Other Influential Southern Women for Leadership Conference
Atlanta State Representative Lynn Smith (R-Newnan) was an honored guest at the 2003 Southern Women in Public Service: Coming Together to Make a Difference leadership conference. The bipartisan conference brings together women leaders from all levels and branches of government, as well as the worlds of business and academia, with the purpose of cultivating more women for public service leadership roles.
Rep. Smith was recognized as a `Pacesetter' from the state of Georgia. The Pacesetter program honors outstanding women with proven leadership records in public service and holds them up as role models to encourage and inspire other women leaders to pursue avenues of greater service. As a designated Pacesetter, Rep. Smith addressed a sizeable group of women leaders from thirteen Southern states.
"I am very honored to have been recognized for my efforts by being named as a Pacesetter," said Smith, "But most importantly, I'm excited about the opportunity to encourage other women to step up and take a more active role in helping to solve the problems which face our cities, our counties, our states, and our nation."
Rep. Smith, a lawmaker since 1996, serves on the House Natural Resources and Environment, House Appropriations and House State Planning and Community Affairs committees. Smith also participated in the National Conference of State Legislature's Leadership Conference, and was named to the NCSL's Environment Committee.
