I am excited to share this tremendous summit with so many distinguished speakers and panelists. I’d first like to thank the Investor Protection Trust and all of our distinguished sponsors. This day is a combined effort that would not have been possible without your endless support. As Secretary of State, my office has many avenues to move Georgia forward and bring better futures to our state’s voters, business owners, and families; however, it is clear that financial literacy should be a top priority. Building a better business climate – and making our state a cornerstone for economic development – starts at the individual level. That’s why my office is fully dedicated to partnering with Georgia’s communities and business-owners to offer every citizen free programs that will set the foundation for a lifetime of smart financial decisions and a better future for our state. Georgia has been named the number one state in which to do business for six years in a row, and with programs like She Leads, I know we can make it seven. It is my hope that this event gives you the resources and know-how to take back to your businesses and communities and make progress toward your personal and professional goals.

  • The Pittsburgh I Remember Is a City That Will Use This Act of Hate to Build a Place of Love and Hope
    THE PITTSBURGH I REMEMBER IS A CITY THAT WILL USE THIS ACT OF HATE TO BUILD A PLACE OF LOVE AND HOPE By Ron Sirak • @ronsirak October 28, 2018 I remember the old Pittsburgh, the grimy city of steel mills and pollution, a lunch pail-carrying kind of place where the sweat of the blast furnaces was washed away with a shot and a beer. I remember a fiercely proud area that viewed Eastern Pennsylvania as another state, perhaps even another country. Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, even has its own language. Phrases such as: “What yinz doin’ after you red up the house?” clang on the outsider’s ear like the wail of a car alarm at 3 in the morning. My mother, who worked as a welder from 7 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. and then as a cleaning woman in an office from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., said of Eastern Pa.: “They’re from the anthracite region; we’re from the bituminous region,” as if that was a stamp you’d get on your passport. My father drove a ladle crane in about every mill in Western Pa. and Eastern Ohio as the steel industry was dying. United Engineering. Mesta Machine. Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Sharon Steel, Jones & Laughlin and finally Pennsylvania Engineering in our hometown of New Castle, 50 miles from Pittsburgh. That’s where he was working when he died at the age of 45, the life sucked from him by relentlessly hard work. When I was a kid the Interstate hadn’t been built yet and the drive to Pittsburgh to see a Pirates game at Forbes Field was an arduous affair, following a windy road that that traced the river.
