President’s Message

As Leadership Macon enters its thirty-second year, we are still bringing together people of diverse backgrounds and encouraging them to be leaders in Middle Georgia.  We still face many of the same issues in our community that we have since Leadership Macon began.  However, due to the almost 1000 graudates we have, this group continues to make Middle Georgia a better place to live, work and play.

The faces change each year in the class, but the goals do not:   Develop young leaders and equip them to tackle issues we face every day in Middle Ga.  The different topics at each monthly class offer the students a great opportunity to learn more about the community we each love.  They see the positives and negatives of our community.  Each classmate brings a different mindset and philosophy to the group, but each shares the common desire to see our community become as good as it can be.

This year we are excited about the 36 individuals who have committed their time, money and effort into “becoming greater leaders of tomorrow.”  On behalf of our Leadership Macon board, I want to thank Lynn Farmer, the  director of Leadership Macon, for her continued support of the program.  We would also like to thank the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce for their sponsorship of the program.  We look forward to a wonderful 2011.
