President Alex's Message


Fellow Rotarians-

I hope that everyone enjoyed our speaker last week. I know that I thought Monika did a wonderful job and I look forward to this week's speaker.

Please remember Christmas gift donations for this week- this is the last meeting to bring them!

If everyone would please help our Christkindl Market, it is greatly appreciated! We are getting amazing attendance and coverage, and I  believe that we have started a great tradition to continue for years to come!

Please remember to sign up for our Christmas Party which is this December 8th. It is also the first night of Hanukkah!

All the best,

Alex

Author and Leadership Consultant, Jack Williams to Speak


Jack Williams, Founder & CEO IDEALS Foundation, Inc. and President of The Timbridge Group

A 1971 graduate of Georgia Tech with a degree in Behavioral Management, Jack’s focus on leadership began in college when he earned three letters as a quarterback and was named team captain for the Georgia Tech football team. He continued his dedication to the sport by serving as a Division I college assistant football coach for seven years. After coaching, Jack entered the business world holding leadership roles as Vice President and COO of a regional service firm followed by becoming a SVP in a Fortune 500 company.

Since that time, he has led several businesses and served on three Boards. Jack’s passion for working with youth was revealed in 1993 when he formed the IDEALS Foundation Inc. IDEALS works with high school students in the area of leadership, role modeling and life / soft skills training.  In 2008 Jack left his position as president of a regional company to devote full-time to his Foundation and his consulting business, the Timbridge Group.

In 2016 IDEALS was asked by the GA Department of Education to create its first program for CTAE students in GA to improve their life / soft skills. In 2018 IDEALS was asked again to create an additional program to be made available to all students. Jack’s consulting business works with businesses in the areas of Leadership Development, Business Strategy, Training and Development and Communication. Jack is in demand as a speaker to business groups, youth groups and high schools. He is the author of The Question, A Guide to Answering Life’s MOST Important Question.
