Chair Board

Powers Crossroads: Allison Bryant

Allison is currently serving her sixth year with the NJSL.  Her involvement has included placements with cookbook and education.  She has served on the Auction committee, the Ball committee and twice on the Powers committee. This is her second year as the Powers Chair.   She also likes to volunteer her time at her children’s school and various church activities. When Allison is not volunteering her time, you can find her shopping (mostly at grocery stores), working out at our local YMCA, or putting her creative outlet to work by sewing at home.  And last but surely not least, you can find her at any of the baseball or football fields with her three boys. Allison and her husband, Dana moved to Newnan 6 years ago after completing over a year of renovations to their old home.  Since their move they have added another boy to their family.  They now have three sons: Bailey 9, Jacob 7, and William 4. Allison’s advice to our new members: “Branch out in the League and make the most of it!  I have met some of my dearest friends through this organization.  Volunteering for your community can also hold some perks for you not only our community.  So be on the lookout for your reward for giving the community your time.  Have a great year!”
