Director Hosey and U.S. Attorney Buchanan are replacing former GBI Director Mike Register and U.S. Attorney Kurt Erskine, respectively.

"It takes a united effort from all levels of the public and private sector to end human trafficking in Georgia, and I am proud to welcome Director Chris Hosey and U.S. Attorney Ryan Buchanan to the GRACE Commission as they join us in this fight," said First Lady Marty Kemp. "Their experience in law enforcement and the judicial system is vital to keeping Georgia a safe haven for survivors and a hostile environment for traffickers and buyers. I look forward to their unique perspectives informing our efforts to rid the State of this evil industry."
