The Georgia Department of Technical

and Adult Education sponsors the GOAL program at the state level. Locally,

GOAL is sponsored by the Griffin-Spalding County Chamber of Commerce and

the Griffin Exchange Club and coordinated by officials from Griffin Technical

College.

"The purpose of the GOAL

program," said Bryant, "is to spotlight the importance of technical

education in today's world and to recognize outstanding achievement by

students in Georgia's technical colleges.

A screening committee of administrators

and instructors at Griffin Technical College will now review all the nominations

and interview each of the students. After the nominees have been ranked,

four finalists will be chosen to compete for the title of Griffin Technical

College GOAL winner.

The four finalists will be

interviewed and evaluated by a selection committee of representatives

from business and industry. The student judged most outstanding will be

designated the college's nominee for the title of state GOAL winner and

will compete with representatives from the state's other technical colleges

for the state award.

The winner of the state GOAL

title, which is awarded for excellence in leadership, will receive the

GOAL medallion. A new automobile will be the grand prize for the state

winner. The local GOAL coordinator and the nominating instructor will

receive $250 checks.
