Farewell to The Atlanta Lawyer ' s Jordan Coleman
We are sad to announce that Jordan Coleman , Publications and Communications staffer , will be leaving The Atlanta Bar Association after four years . For more than a decade , Jordan has immersed herself in mastering various forms of marketing , communications , and publications , and brought her experience and talents to both her Atlanta Bar role and her role with The Atlanta Lawyer . Serving as editor on Atlanta Bar ’ s Editorial Board of The Atlanta Lawyer , much of the design , graphic elements , and overall compilation of the magazine are the result of her recommendations and creativity . Since her start with The Atlanta Lawyer , Jordan has been responsible for many insightful changes to the design and content - the team effort resulted in The Atlanta Lawyer being the recipient of the 2021-2022 Georgia State Bar Association Award for Best Publication . Jordan ’ s input will be missed and we wish her good luck in her new endeavors !
