SouthForce is bolstered by the collective energies of experienced consultants. Our professional experiences are as varied as we are, and they form the backbone of our commitment to delivering strategic and effective service. Leading the consulting team is Joan Thomas who, having contributed to excellence in different corporate, educational and political roles, is well-prepared to spearhead efforts that deliver results. She is the recipient of a 2006 Presidential Volunteer Service Award from President George W. Bush for her lengthy commitment to a girls' club called Cool Girls of Atlanta. In 2003, Cool Girls Inc honored her with their Founder's Award, and she is still mentoring the “Cool Girl” who became her “Cool Sister” in 1989.
