Carol served on many boards throughout the Atlanta community and state of Georgia, most notably, she was the first female to be president of any metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and brought the customer service industry into the equation, which previously had only included manufacturing as she served on the Georgia State Board of Industry Trade & Tourism.
