The Power of Faith and Persistence: The Doug Ammar Story
For years, I held a certain image of leaders in the non-profit sector - resolute visionaries with a clear calling from the outset. Then I crossed paths with Doug Ammar, who dramatically reframed this narrative.
Doug assumed the mantle of Director at the Georgia Justice Project (GJP) not as the result of a lifelong plan but following a surprising turn of events when the founder quit unexpectedly. No money. No donor prospects. No network. His ensuing journey is a powerful demonstration that there's always room for faith-fueled transformations.
Doug, the steadfast Director of the Atlanta-based GJP, has become an influential figure in criminal justice. He’s not only shaped the lives of the impoverished accused but has also managed to enact significant legislative changes. His journey, from uncertainty to establishing GJP as a financially viable entity in just six months, is a testament to the strength of his belief and leadership.
Eagerly looking forward to giving you a glimpse into Doug's journey and how he transformed the GJP after an initial crisis. His story is a treasure trove of insights and lessons that could reframe your perspective on leadership and faith. Watch this short video clip, and make sure you see the entire interview.
