Stacey Key, a member of the Georgia State Transportation Board (STB), has been named one of Engineering Georgia magazine’s “100 Most Influential Women in Georgia Engineering.” The list highlights women leaders who have made significant contributions to the engineering industry across the state.
Key has served on the State Transportation Board since 2013 and represents Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, which includes areas of Clayton, DeKalb, and Fulton Counties. She also holds the position of president and CEO at the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council (GMSDC) and has more than two decades of management experience with companies such as IBM, Schlumberger, Bellsouth, and Samsung. In addition to her role at GMSDC, Key serves on boards including the Georgia Chamber of Commerce and Midtown Alliance and was part of Leadership Atlanta’s Class of 2014.
“For the eighth consecutive year, Engineering Georgia magazine has included members of the STB and Georgia DOT in this annual listing recognizing the contributions and influence of the most notable women in Georgia engineering. Georgia DOT is well-represented on the 2025 list which features five STB members and five Georgia DOT team members.”
The State Transportation Board consists of 14 members representing each congressional district in Georgia. Members are elected by their district’s General Assembly caucus to serve staggered five-year terms overseeing planning, development, and management for transportation projects throughout the state.
“Georgia DOT aims to deliver a transportation system focused on innovation, safety, sustainability and mobility. The department prides itself on its diverse and well-trained workforce and is proud to recognize the achievements of these women.”
The full list appears in Engineering Georgia’s May/June issue.
