TERSSA Conference - "Don't Let Lack Hold You Back" by Debra Jones

The Extension and Research Support Staff Association (TERSSA) virtual conference, Friday, November 12, 2010.

While we all go through hardships in our lives, our attitudes in which we handle these hardships have a huge impact on the outcome. Just because we don’t have the financial support to improve ourselves, we should not let this hold us back from our dreams. All dreams are attainable if we do not let lack hold us back.
Debra Jones is married to William A. Jones with five children who attend White Plains Schools. Ms Jones has been an Attorney in Anniston, GA for 20 years, a former Assistant District Attorney for 4 years and in private practice 16 years. She is attributed with establishing service institutions and counseling for her region.

Debra established legislation for State of Alabama, the Sexual Torture Law and case law through appellate court for child sexual abuse. Debra Jones is currently running for Circuit Court Judge in Anniston, Alabama.
