State Director of the Division of Family and Children Services (DFACS) to speak at La Table
Tom C. Rawlings, appointed in February 2019 by Governor Brian Kemp to serve as Director of the State Division of Family and Children Services, will be the keynote speaker at La Table 2020 on February 25 at the Athens Country Club.
Tom supports the efforts of over 8,000 DFCS employees who protect Georgia's most vulnerable children and assist the state's struggling families. He previously served as Interim Director of the agency. Prior to joining DFCS, Tom served as Georgia's Child Advocate for the Protection of Children and helped lead efforts to improve our state's child protection system. Governor Deal appointed him to the Office of the Child Advocate post in January 2017, and he also served as the Director of that agency from 2007-2010 under Governor Sonny Perdue. An honors graduate of both Duke University and the University of Georgia School of Law, he earned his Masters' degree from Oxford University with distinction in International Human Rights Law. From 2000-2007, he served as the first full-time juvenile court judge in the Middle Judicial Circuit, where he oversaw juvenile justice and child protection cases in five counties. After serving his first term as the state children's ombudsman, Tom and his family moved to Guatemala in 2010, where he directed a child sexual abuse prosecution and treatment team as the country director for International Justice Mission.
