For more than 45 years, Acts Retirement-Life Communities has met the retirement lifestyle and healthcare needs of older adults living in our communities. Our company began in 1971 with the vision of a church pastor and his congregation whose goal was to create an environment that offered seniors a rewarding lifestyle and high quality healthcare if ever needed. Today, Acts is the largest not-for-profit owner, operator and developer of continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) in the United States. Our 23 communities currently serve approximately 9,700 residents in nine states. Our vision for Acts is to have The Acts Culture of Loving-Kindness be the basic fiber of our daily practice to meet the needs of those we serve. As we continue to grow, we are looking for dedicated and compassionate individuals to join our team who help to carry out our mission of serving older adults. We have been able to provide an unparalleled quality of life for our residents by recruiting and hiring great people who understand our vision and strive to be a part of it. We are convinced that the secret to our success is our employees who work as a team each day to make a positive difference in the lives of our residents. It is for this reason that we provide a working environment based on fair employment practices, competitive pay and benefits, career opportunities and other programs designed to help our employees achieve their professional goals.
The Georgia Department of Education sets policy for all public schools in the state and implements new laws passed by the Georgia General Assembly. The Department trains teachers and principals, oversees federal education programs, tracks how schools are performing and manages the state`s K-12 budget. The Department also works directly with districts in an advisory capacity on school safety, charter schools and homeless students, among other areas. There are nearly 200 school systems in Georgia, employing 110,000 teachers. Those systems include Department of Juvenile Justice programs, state chartered schools and state schools for the blind and deaf. In the 2012-13 school year, there were 1.7 million public school students in Georgia attending 2,275 schools. We are making education work for all Georgians!

Freedom for All Americans is the bipartisan campaign to secure full nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people nationwide. Our work brings together Republicans and Democrats, businesses large and small, people of faith, and allies from all walks of life to make the case for comprehensive non-discrimination protections that ensure everyone is treated fairly and equally. With the ultimate goal of securing federal statutory protections for LGBTQ Americans, Freedom for All Americans works at the federal, state, and local level to advance measures and laws protecting from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression – without allowing overly broad and harmful religious exemptions that will encourage employers, business owners or others to choose to disregard those protections. Opponents of non-discrimination laws are currently pursuing strategies to chip away at protections for the LGBTQ community and undermine the movement`s gains. We will push against these attempts to codify discrimination. However, it is not enough to merely take a defensive posture – we must take the fight on the offensive, with a multi-year initiative that seizes on our best opportunities to advance local and state-level victories. Throughout all of this work, we must also pursue a broad, ambitious initiative to educate Americans about who LGBTQ people are and why non-discrimination protections are so critical.
