PUBLISHER’S THOUGHTS Women in Business

As an owner of multiple businesses, the Women in Business issue is one of my favorites. I love featuring women who are leaders in local businesses, pursuing their goals, bringing new ideas to life and giving back to the community at the same time. We are excited to share the stories and words of wisdom from these powerful ladies.

Tina Browning is one of the women we are most proud to share. Tina is a tireless advocate for the communities she serves throughout Southeast Georgia. She teaches people about financial literacy in her role at Queensborough National Bank & Trust, volunteers on numerous boards and nonprofits and is active in her church. She demonstrates selflessness every day, so much so that when she found herself in need, she had a community rallying behind her. Read more on page 10.

Micah Nix is a 2019 graduate of Effingham County High School who wants to make an impact in the criminal justice system. She recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a double major in Political Science and International Affairs and will start law school this fall with aspirations of becoming a judge. While in school, she worked as a legislative aide and shadowed multiple judges around the state to gain experience toward her future career goals.
