Mark Nash is Chosen as Altamaha Technical College’s GOAL Winner

Jesup, Ga – Mark Nash, a practical nursing student at Altamaha Technical College from Wayne County, has been named as the college’s winner of the Georgia Occupational Award of Leadership (GOAL).

GOAL, a statewide program of the Technical College System of Georgia, honors excellence in academics and leadership among the state’s technical college students.  Local GOAL winners are selected at each of the state’s 33 technical colleges as well as the four Board of Regents colleges with technical education divisions. 

The announcement of Nash as the Altamaha Technical College GOAL winner was made by President Lorette M. Hoover.

Nash will receive an all-expense-paid trip to Atlanta in May where, for three-days, he will compete with GOAL winners from the other state technical college campuses.  A panel of leaders from the business, industry and government sectors will interview them and choose one to be the state’s 2008 GOAL winner and the recipient of the GOAL medallion. 

The grand prize also includes a new car, courtesy of Chevrolet, the statewide corporate sponsor of the GOAL program.
