The first lady serves as the official hostess of the Georgia Governor's Mansion.

The position of the first lady is not an elected one, carries no official duties, and receives no salary.

However, the first lady holds a highly visible position in state government.

She organizes and attends official ceremonies and functions of state either along with, or in place of, the governor.

It is common for the governor's spouse to select specific, non-political, causes to promote.
