Meet Staci Fox

Staci Fox (she/her) is a lifelong advocate, nonprofit executive, and unapologetic optimist. Although she was born in Warner Robins, Georgia, and educated at the University of Georgia, Staci spent years moving from city to city and state to state, but she never lost her passion for the deep inequities in the South. She currently serves as CEO of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, where she works to advance equity through state fiscal policy. Before that, she spent more than two decades in reproductive health, including serving as CEO of Planned Parenthood organizations across the South. Known for her warmth, clarity, and ability to light up a room, Staci leads with both conviction and heart. She is a devoted partner to Greg Cole, a lover of live music, a passionate home cook, a proud Georgia Bulldog, and someone who believes deeply in celebrating life even in its hardest seasons.
