MAX MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Santrissa Johnson, Project Director, External Engagement & Outreach, Georgia Department of Human Services

August 19, 2023

Through periodic MAX Member Spotlights, our MAX team is honored to help our broader workforce development network get to know our members better in order to strengthen connections, collaborations, and practices among workforce developers and organizations engaged in workforce development. Here, our members share insights on how MAX is helpful in their work, accomplishments they’re most proud of, emerging trends they see as affecting workforce development, and more.

How long have you been engaged with the MAX network?

More than 5 years

How has being a member of MAX benefitted your organization?

How many years have you served in the workforce development profession?

4 years

Why do you serve in this profession? What motivates you or inspires you to do what you do?

In my current position, I no longer provide direct workforce development services, but my organization provides the services. Thus, I liked to be in the know of what is going on in the workforce profession. This allows me to share this information with workforce professionals in my organization.

What is something you and/or your organization have accomplished in the past 12 months that you are most proud of?

My organization continues to add community partners that benefit not only the department but the Georgia citizens we serve. Networking and connecting resources and services is very important in the growth of the department and to help constituents’ find local resources for their families.

What is a little-known fun fact about you?

I enjoy the subject of History!
