Three newly elected trustees are pleased to join the college’s governing body. Amy Turner Cathy (05C) and Jeff Jahn (07C) are alumni who formerly served on the Board of Visitors. The third is noted attorney William H. “Bill” Jordan.
Cathy’s background includes service on the coordinating council for the Cathy Family Foundation and completion of the Families in Business Program at Harvard Business School. Along with husband Mark and other family members, she recently partnered in establishing the Amber Grace Community on Berry’s mountain campus. Offering family-style living for adults with mild intellectual and developmental disabilities, it was inspired by her sister’s experience with Down Syndrome.
Jahn is CEO of DynamiX, the award-winning web development firm he founded as a Berry sophomore, and Evolve Digital. Featured by the likes of Time, Reuters, Fox News, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post and ABC News, the 2015 recipient of the Alumni Council’s Entrepreneurial Spirit Award regularly shares his expertise with students. Jahn’s generosity to Berry includes the creation of the Ninja Fund to catalyze student innovation and entrepreneurship. He is married to Berry sweetheart Amber Cole Jahn (08C).
Jordan is currently partner and co-chair of the global litigation group and health care industry team for Alston and Bird, the largest law firm in Atlanta. He specializes in business litigation, government and internal investigations, False Claims Act cases, and corporate compliance in the health care and technology sectors. Previous service includes senior roles in the Department of Justice’s Civil Division and the office of the associate attorney general, overseeing nationwide litigation and investigations. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Rhodes College and a Juris Doctor degree from Emory School of Law.
