Atlanta, Georgia – Thirty-three leaders from agriculture, forestry, business, education, environmental organizations, government, and civic groups have been selected for the seventh class of the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership (IGEL). The program has created a diverse and better informed network of environmental leaders who will help resolve Georgia’s environmental challenges.

“The 2008 class will join the ranks of the 185 leaders from across the state who have previously completed the program since its inception in 2001” said Ross King, Immediate Past-Chair of IGEL and also Deputy Director of the Association County Commissioners of Georgia. “IGEL is rapidly developing a strong network of key decision makers who are leaving their imprint on the development of state and local environmental public policy. The consensus-building skill sets reinforced at IGEL programs has, and will continue to, lead towards a stronger sense of the key importance of collaboration in environmental decision making,” he said.
