Guest Michael Thompson, Interim District Manager,
is the DDS Examiner of the Year for 2021 and was

rewarded with AAMVA Conference attendance.

He commented, "It was a great honor to attend the
AAMVA conference as a representative of the

Georgia Department of Driver Services. My biggest
learnings were that AAMVA can be a great resource
for us, that we all share in putting a safe driver on
the road, and under the leadership of Commissioner
Moore we have conquered numerous opportunities

that many States are just now addressing.
