Each Leadership class collaborates on a project to address a specific concern in our community. Last year’s class raised over $20,000 through a clay shooting event, “Rounds for Resiliency” for the Columbia County Community Connections’ Resilient Teen Program.” This program prepares communities to address adverse childhood experiences, resilience and trauma in teens aged 13-19 in the 14-county CSRA.
The chair of the 2023 Leadership Class is Robert Kelly, with Augusta Staffing, and a Leadership Class of 2017 graduate; vice chair is Susan See, with Nothing Bundt Cakes, and a graduate of the Leadership Class of 2020.
