| President, Leadership Macon Board |
In 1979 the first class of Leadership Macon was formed with the purpose of bringing together a diverse group of emerging leaders in the Middle Georgia area to better understand the issues confronting our community. Three decades later our mission continues to be to provide an opportunity for participants to learn about the challenges we face in Middle Georgia and to groom them to take on those challenges and find their own unique ways in which to improve Macon.
For thirty years now over 900 of Macon’s leaders have invested one day a month for an entire year to learn from local experts, concerned citizens and from each other. The broad scope of topics covered by in Leadership Macon provides graduates with a deeper understanding of our community’s strengths and weaknesses. Graduates develop a dedication to help Macon to be a more cohesive and vibrant city.
Participants from all areas of our community come to Leadership Macon for reasons as diverse as their experiences. But different as they are, and varied as their motivations may be, each one shares a common concern and dedication for our community.
Without the sponsorship of The Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce Leadership Macon would not be possible. We are enormously grateful to the Chamber and their leadership for the resources that sustain this program. We also appreciate the generosity of the many sponsors whose commitment to Leadership Macon over the years have ensured our success.
