Other women who have spoken at the power breakfast include Carol Burrell, president and CEO of Northeast Georgia Health System; Mimi Collins, president of Longstreet Clinic; and Stacey Dickson, president of Lake Lanier CVB.
Elizabeth Burnette, executive director of WomenSource, said the nonprofit is lucky to have a woman of Jacobs' caliber in education in north Georgia.
