Congratulations to Jana Edmondson-Cooper on national award
To the Editor:
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to express congratulations to Jana J. Edmondson-Cooper, senior trial attorney in the Office of the Solicitor for Region IV, U.S. Department of Labor in Atlanta, on receiving the Willard Wirtz Legacy Award.
Presented annually by the U.S. Department of Labor to one of its approximately 17,000 employees nationwide, the award recognizes exceptional performance and accomplishments in public service that exemplifies accountability, responsibility, and emerging leadership skills that display the promise of future leadership in the spirit of the former Secretary of Labor Williard Wirtz.
In a statement from the Office of the Solicitor, the Department of Labor called Ms. Edmondson-Cooper “a high-caliber public servant and leader-servant who is tirelessly committed to our mission and to excellence. Her commitment drives her to serve as a lawyer in her role, but also to serve in expansive ways beyond the strict contours of her job.”
By earning this prestigious honor at the national level, Ms. Edmondson-Cooper demonstrates her ongoing commitment to serving the public and the justice system. Her fellow State Bar of Georgia members add our appreciation and applause.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth L. Fite
President, State Bar of Georgia
