Chris Womack, Vice President of External Affairs for Southern Company, the parent company of Georgia Power, will be the keynote speaker at the Freedom Fund Banquet on Saturday, November 16.
Womack’s extraordinary ability to excel in college, public administration, and government affairs led to the return to his Alabama roots to work for Alabama Power prior to becoming VP of External Affairs at Southern Company.
