Ashley & Jacqui Derrick

 

Ashley Derrick & Jacqui Derrick/Workright, LLC

The Drug Lady is an important team member for any business wishing to create or maintain a Drug Free Workplace. Our “Drug Lady” is powered by two  amazing ladies- a mother-daughter team who have been working together for almost 30 years. Jacqui Derrick developed the original Drugs Don’t Work program in Georgia back in 1994 shortly after the Drug Free Workplace Act was signed into law. Since then, she’s helped hundreds of business owners across the southeast implement and maintain their Drug Free Workplace programs. You can ask anyone- she’s the Original Drug Lady. In 2003 she recognized the need for a dedicated drug testing facility in the Atlanta area to serve employers. We’ve been managing that facility ever since. Her daughter, Ashley, stood no chance. Ashley started helping Jacqui with office work and creating  training programs for younger audiences as a teenager. The two became a staple in the industry, working together to help their clients navigate difficult situations, interpret results, assisting with policy creation and management, and educating teams on how drugs can affect a person as well as their livelihood and those around them. If you’ve got a question, chances are they’ve seen it and have the answer. And if you’ve got a story to tell, even better! 

A woman owned and operated small business located in the Atlanta Metro Area specializing in creating and managing Drug-Free Workplace programs for employers. Started in 1999, Workright opened their own testing facility in 2003. They strive to provide their clients with a one stop shop for all their substance abuse program questions and concerns.

Communication, education and safety above all!

 

 

 

Recorded and Produced at the Northeast Georgia Business RadioX studio located at the Empower College & Career Center of Jackson County.

About Your Host

Ashley-Derrick-2025Ashley Derrick is a powerhouse of passion and purpose.

Currently pursuing her C-DAPA Certification—an elite credential held by only 10 people nationwide—she brings a deep commitment to community, leadership, and advocacy.

With a degree in business marketing, Ashley serves as Secretary of the Jefferson Rotary, chairs the Jackson County Citizen’s Review Panel for Juvenile Court, and is actively involved in Rotary’s Opioid Settlement Operations Committee.

She’s also a member of SAPAA’s Membership Committee and Habitat for Humanity’s Outreach Committee.

Outside of her professional roles, Ashley is a fourth-degree blackbelt, avid equestrian, rock climber, and nature lover who prefers paddleboarding and gardening to any gym workout.

She shares her home with a colorful crew of animals, including a dog (Beans), a cat (Goose), 7 ducks, 13 chickens, two mules (Vinny and Duke), and a horse named Little Horse—and is currently on strict probation from adopting any more.
