Truist’s Community Affairs Manager and Government Affairs Liaison Sofia Aun learned a valuable lesson from one of her mentors, Doug Shipman, who is now the Atlanta City Council president. During a meeting, they were discussing her community service, and at the time, Aun was serving in eight different leadership positions for local boards and organizations. “He looked at me and said ‘you’re doing too much. You need to cut back and only do half of this.’ I was floored because I thought I was doing a great job, and he asked me ‘can you honestly say you’re giving 100% to every one of these organizations? When you stretch yourself so thin, it’s not helping anyone - yourself, your community, or others. You need to serve intentionally,’” she said. An At Large member of GBA’s Public Affairs Committee, Aun shares about how she puts this intentionality into practice in her career and personal life, what she learned while working with her parents at their dental office in Dahlonega while in high school and college, and much more in the latest GBA Member Profile.
