2024 Jack Vaughan, Jr.
Human Services Awards
Each year, the Cobb Collaborative honors members of our community who have exhibited outstanding service to those in need in Cobb County. Jack Vaughan, Jr. was a state representative and member of the Cobb Collaborative who showed unselfish dedication to public service and strongly advocated for those less fortunate in our community. In memory of Jack’s service, the Collaborative honors a volunteer and a professional who have gone above and beyond to serve those in need.
We know that there are many individuals who have gone “above and beyond” this year (or who have continued to go above and beyond!) in response to the varying needs of our Cobb County community.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a deserving individual.
