Leaders from across Georgia gathered at the Georgia Freight Depot in Atlanta on February 11th to share best practices and success stories, and to identify ways to improve leadership efforts, whether regionally through the Georgia Academy of Economic Development, youth leadership coordinated by Georgia 4-H, or the Community Leadership Initiative, led by Louise Hill of the Fanning Institute. Senator Johnny Isakson was keynote speaker. Fanning coordinates this annual event, which is sponsored by the Georgia Rural Development Council and the OneGeorgia Authority.
