One of the first Guilford ABC graduates, Lori Harris Pleasure, is a shining example of successful ABC alumnae. Lori graduated from GHS with honors in 1978, and went on to receive a BA in Sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. She obtained her JD from Cleveland Marshall College of Law and is a longstanding member of the Ohio Bar. Lori began her legal career as a staff attorney with The Toledo Legal Aide Society and then became a prosecutor for Lucas County Child Support Enforcement. Since then, Lori has held various legal and non-legal positions and gained vast experience negotiating, preparing and reviewing contracts, arbitrating, conducting legal research and civil and criminal discovery. Lori is currently employed with Emory University Hospital in the Office of Risk and Insurance Services. She and her husband Morris Pleasure own WaterSign Media, a multi media company engaged in improving the future of the entertainment industry. She is a member of Guilford ABC Alumni Association and a former Board Member of iDream, a charity providing tutoring and mentoring to underprivileged children in the Atlanta area.
Today Guilford A Better Chance is working with a number of GABC alumnae to find and reconnect with all its alumnae. Helping with that effort are Kim Pompey Anglada, Cynthia Banks, Valarie Price Cornelious, Cheryl Harvey McPherson, Miranda Nance, and Tina Wiggins.
