Pat Mitchell was born on January 20, 1943, in Swainsboro, and grew up to become an American businessperson. She pursued her education at the University of Georgia, which set her on a professional path that would eventually earn her recognition from institutions well beyond her home state.

Over the course of her career, Mitchell built a reputation in the business world that drew acknowledgment from multiple quarters. She received an honorary doctor of the University of Miami, a distinction tied to her professional standing. She also received the Bodley Medal, placing her among a select group recognized through that honor.

Those two awards — the honorary degree and the Bodley Medal — mark points of recognition in a career that Mitchell, a United States citizen, has pursued across the business world. Her path from Swainsboro, where she was born in 1943, to the receipt of honors on that scale traces the reach of a professional life that extended far from its starting point.

In my opinion, the most important thing as a woman leader-and I learned this early through a whole bunch of great women who were in my life (and men, I have to say)-is that if you have a position of leadership and power and you don't use it in a different way, then you're wasting it. So when people used to say to me when I was the first woman president of PBS, "Well, you know, does that mean that as a woman you're going to be a different kind of president?" And I would say, "Well, I hope so!"

VOTE!!! Remember what the suffragists said when they finally won their long hard battle to get us the right to vote, knowing that they probably would never get to exercise the right or see the results; they said, 'this is not for ourselves alone.' It was for us and every generation of women to come. If we don't vote, we are ignoring history and giving away the future.
