We asked The Atlanta Bar Association Board
of Directors and The Atlanta Lawyer Editorial
Board "What inspires you to leadership?"
My goal has always
been to simply serve
however I can. I think
leadership comes in
when said service is
done well and meets the need
that exists.
Caren Cloud, Truancy Intervention
Project
Giving back and help-
ing others to achieve
their goals inspires me
to leadership.
Beth Gilchrist,
Hill & Watchko, LLC
I was inspired to leader-
ship by the legacy of
Atlanta Bar leaders who
gave so much in service
to our community and
profession.
Nicole Iannarone, Georgia State
University College of Law
When I make the deci-
sion to devote my time
and effort to an orga-
nization, I feel drawn to
assume a leadership
role. Maggie Vath, Georgia State
University College of Law
I’ve had great mentors
throughout my life, start-
ing with my mom and
dad, who both hap-
pened to be the old-
est of four children in their families.
I was the oldest of three. And that
is how my Barbie became CEO of
a major conglomerate.
Jessica J. Wood, Bodker Ramsey
Andrews Winograd Wildstein, P.C.
I've been inspired to
lead in a couple of
ways. Sometimes it was
because I felt passion-
ately about an organi-
zation and believed I could make
a difference. Other times, it was
because a friend or colleague laid
a hand on my shoulder, literally or
figuratively, and asked me to step
up because they believed in me.
