A trend of female leadership continues at the State Bar of Georgia, following the installation of Savannah mediator Sarah “Sally” Akins as the group’s 60th president.

Following her June 4 inauguration, Akins became the sixth woman to serve as president of the 52,000-member organization. Now she’s opening up about her leadership plans for the State Bar of Georgia.
