Friday, October 3rd, 2014

The Leadership Georgia Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the 2015 Class of Leadership Georgia.  Thanks in great part to the efforts of our alumni and local Chambers, an extraordinary number of qualified nominees were submitted for consideration this year.  Furthermore, the depth and breadth of individual applications were equally impressive. The process to select a high caliber class of sixty-three leaders representative of our growing state becomes more challenging every year.
