Five years ago, Amber never imagined this kind of opportunity would be possible.

Today, she’s stepping into a new chapter of leadership. 💙 Please join us in congratulating Amber Gorman, our BETTER WORK Program Manager, on being selected for the 2026–2027 Leadership Columbus class! Amber shared: “Being accepted into the 2026–2027 Leadership Columbus class is something I don’t take for granted. Five years ago, I wouldn’t have thought this kind of opportunity was possible for me. Overcoming personal barriers hasn’t always been easy, but this opportunity reaffirms that I am right where I am meant to be.” She’s also looking forward to what this next chapter will bring: “I am honored to represent the Georgia Center for Opportunity, connect deeply with Columbus, and collaborate alongside incredible community leaders. I am excited to see where this part of my journey takes me!” Amber’s story is a powerful reminder that new opportunities can open doors we once couldn’t imagine walking through. We’re proud of you, Amber! Congratulations! 👏💙 #BETTERWORK #JobsForLife #LeadershipColumbus #GeorgiaCenterForOpportunity #ColumbusGA #CommunityLeadership #OpportunityForAll #WorkMatters #MeaningfulWork
