Friends of Fanning Celebration

“If you seek his monument, look around you.” Christopher Wren’s epitaph provided a fitting conclusion to director Karen E. Holt’s (second from right) remarks at the Fanning Institute’s special celebration on February 23rd for friends and supports of the J.W. Fanning Building. As a living legacy to Fanning, the Institute today is at the forefront of broad-based, interdisciplinary, and collaborative efforts to address the pressing needs of society, in Georgia and beyond, working in the common ground of economic, leadership and community development. Matt Bishop (left) chaired the event. Also pictured, Art Dunning, Vice President for Public Service and Outreach, and Dink NeSmith (right), President of Community Newspapers, Inc.
