With a focus on arts, literacy, and hands-on learning, Molly’s dedication to fostering children’s growth through creative avenues is truly inspiring.
Completing this dynamic trio is Dr. Denise Watts, who serves as the Superintendent of Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Watts is committed to enhancing educational opportunities, particularly for underserved communities, demonstrating a steadfast dedication to improving schools in our region.
Leading with Purpose
Chairing this vibrant event is Suzanne Kirk, the President and HR Consultant of Employee Development Strategies, Inc. Under her leadership, the event’s planning committee includes 30 women leaders, all working tirelessly to ensure the success of this year’s festivities.
Adding to the excitement, Stacy Jennings has been honored as the 2025 United Way “Woman of the Year”, a well-deserved accolade that underscores the quality of women who will be showcased at Women Who Rule. This recognition highlights the commitment and passion of women who are making a significant difference in our community.
