Murphy Accepted in 2010 Leadership Georgia Program
Artist, Kuanita Murphy, has been named to the 2010 Leadership Georgia Program.
The LEADERSHIP GEORGIA program is an educational experience rather than a program of advocacy and deals with issues confronting the state of Georgia.
Leadership Georgia stands apart as one of the nation's oldest and most successful leadership-training programs for young business, civic and community leaders with the desire and potential to work together for a better Georgia. Its primary purpose is to identify, train, and inspire a network of emerging young leaders, whose ages typically range from 25 to 45 years old.
Affiliated with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the organization has fielded numerous highly influential state and national leaders. Among the ranks of Leadership Georgia alumni there are leaders in business, not-for-profit organizations, and elected officials including U.S. Senators, U.S. Congressmen, State Legislators, and a Georgia Secretary of State.
Leadership Georgia is a non-partisan organization and is not affiliated with any particular political party or ideology. Leadership Georgia seeks to find and develop a geographically, occupationally and ethnically diverse leadership across Georgia - without regard to political, social, religious or ethnic backgrounds.9/30/2009
