Savannah women leaders unite to celebrate their impact on the community.
Savannah recently hosted a heartwarming NAACP meeting to honor local women leaders and their significant contributions. Amidst inspiring speeches from leaders like Alderwoman Carol Bell and others, the event highlighted the importance of women’s voices in governance and announced Stacy Jennings as the 2025 Woman of the Year. The gathering celebrated achievements and set the stage for the upcoming Women Who Rule event, fostering a community dedicated to empowering women leaders.
The charming city of Savannah recently held a heartwarming event that brought together local women leaders to celebrate their contributions to the community. Organized by the Savannah Chapter of the NAACP, this monthly meeting took place at the First Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. It felt like a cozy gathering of friends eager to uplift each other, as *Georgia Representative Edna Jackson*, a former Savannah Mayor, took the helm to lead this inspiring session.
As March comes to a close, marking the end of Women’s History Month, this meeting served as a stirring tribute to women in leadership roles. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie as local leaders gathered to share their unique journeys and acknowledge the vital roles women play in governance, from the city council to the state legislature.
Alderwoman Carol Bell took the stage, emphasizing the profound significance of women’s voices in decision-making circles. She passionately highlighted how these voices matter and can lead to more inclusive governance. Alderwoman Alicia Miller Blakely shared her own inspiring narrative of stepping up for her community after retiring from the military, illustrating how service to one’s country inspires continued service to their community.
Meanwhile, Chatham County Commissioner Malinda Scott Hodge spoke about the remarkable power of community and sisterhood in leadership roles. She raised the important point that healthy disagreements can fuel better decisions and outcomes, making way for diverse perspectives to enter the conversation. This reminder reinforced the idea that leadership among women isn’t just about agreement; it’s about enriching the dialogue.
In a wonderful addition to the program, the United Way of the Coastal Empire announced that *Stacy Jennings* would be honored as the 2025 Woman of the Year. This prestigious recognition will be celebrated during the Women Who Rule event scheduled for March 4, 2025, at the Savannah Convention Center. What an exciting event to look forward to! The Women Who Rule event is not just about accolades; it also raises funds for the Women United Transportation Fund, aiding women and caregivers who need reliable transportation.
Stacy Jennings, who serves as the Executive Director of Communications for the Savannah Chatham County Board of Education, has built a remarkable track record in community service over the past 33 years. She has been a key player on the Board of Directors for United Way and has engaged with various committees, showcasing her dedication to the community. Additionally, she has held leadership roles on several community boards, including important organizations like the YMCA and Susan G. Komen of Coastal Georgia. Her involvement reflects a deep commitment to service and empowerment in Savannah.
As excitement builds for the upcoming Women Who Rule event, this year promises to be particularly special with a panel of distinguished female leaders. Panelists will be announced later, which is sure to create a buzz within the community. Event tables and tickets for this wonderful gathering will go on sale in January 2025. It’s bound to be an event you won’t want to miss, as it brings together women from all walks of life to celebrate achievements and foster future leaders.
With events like these, it’s clear that Savannah not only values its women leaders but actively supports and honors their contributions. As the tales of *community service, leadership, and empowerment* continue to unfold, there’s no doubt that the future looks bright for women in Savannah. With a strong community backing, the potential for positive change grows every day, proving that together, women can achieve incredible feats.
