Servant leadership is the definitive model for organizations committed to sustainable community progress. It is the measurable process where executive vision transcends mere aspiration, translating directly into strategic, large-scale civic outcomes that redefine organizational effectiveness. This approach yields substantial returns in community strengthening and economic development.
Leadership in Action: Corey Dortch and Vice President Stacy Jones
We recently had the distinct opportunity to observe this high-standard model in practice. As Corey Dortch, Co-Founder and Principal of Hines Dortch Consulting, and the 79th President of the UGA Alumni Association Board, convened the Fall Board Meeting, the event was graciously hosted by Vice President Stacy Jones.
Her leadership at The University of Georgia’s Public Service and Outreach is a compelling case study in applied vision. Vice President Jones oversees UGA’s entire outreach and economic development mission, leading eight public service units focused on three strategic priorities: creating jobs and prosperity, developing leaders, and addressing critical state challenges. She demonstrates that definitive leaders do not merely discuss service; they establish vital connections, elevate institutional purpose, and execute applied research programs that deliver verifiable civic impact.
