Danielle Fields, a resident of Gray, Ga. and a member of the Milledgeville Jaycees, has been elected to the Georgia Jaycees’ state executive committee, where she will serve as President. She is joined on the executive committee by Katie Harris, Vice President of Community Development; Allen Farley, Vice President of Membership; Cynthia Cradduck, Vice President of Communications; and Chad Brown, Chairman of the Board.

Fields is currently employed by the University System of Georgia Shared Services Center as an HRIS Analyst.

As the founding President of the Milledgeville Jaycees in 2014, Fields helped to structure and develop a sustainable plan for fundraising for the Milledgeville chapter while building a sustainable team. She served as the Georgia Jaycees Vice President of Membership and Community Development in 2017 and as the President-Elect in 2018 where she focused on chapter collaboration and growth, as well as establishing relationships with the National Jaycees organization, JCI USA.

She graduated from Georgia College and State University in 2004 with her Bachelor’s Degree and in 2017 with a Masters in Management Information Systems.

In her new role, Fields will be responsible for managing the Georgia Jaycees’ affairs and
activities and serve as the representative of the organization on the national and international level. During Field’s acceptance speech, she listed several goals for the year, including a 180 percent increase in membership, a launch of a new membership app and a new outdoor raffle program. Fields will hold the office for one year.

The Jaycees is a leadership development organization that focuses on community involvement. This year, the state board held a major fundraiser to help provide financial resources for Out of the Darkness, a non-profit focused on battling human trafficking.

Jaycees chapters in Georgia include Athens, Atlanta, Columbus, Dahlonega, Gainesville, Gray, Milledgeville, Savannah, Statesboro, Swainsboro and Jesup.

“I’m excited to see what this year brings as we “Go the Distance,” Fields said. “We have an amazing group of young professionals empowering their chapters and members to create positive change in their communities.”
