December 2025 Chair's Column

Dear Friends, Colleagues, and others,

 It has been my sincere pleasure to serve as your GEDA chair for 2025.  I have enjoyed the time with the executive committee (mostly), board members, Grant, and hearing from so many of our members throughout the year.

I am always so impressed by the individuals who make up the economic development profession in Georgia and how proud I am of all of your accomplishments across this great State.  I cannot truly express my gratitude for all of the volunteer hours and commitment by our members to make this organization and our state so wonderful.  I am looking forward to the new role as Past-chair and turning the reigns over to Stacy for an even more successful 2026.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.  Wishing you may blessings and safe holidays.
