The Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership has named its class of 2025.
IGEL, which was founded in 2001, trains leaders through experiential programs with skills and knowledge to help confront environmental issues throughout the state.
The organization’s board of directors on Tuesday announced the latest 30-member cohort of leaders across industry, nonprofits, government and academia.
“Since 2001, IGEL has cultivated an unparalleled network of leaders who share a commitment to Georgia’s natural resources,” Dan Grogan, IGEL board chairperson and member of the 2011 IGEL class, said in a Tuesday news release. “The Class of 2025 will carry forward this tradition of collaboration and learning, ensuring that diverse perspectives continue to drive innovative solutions for Georgia’s environmental challenges.”
The latest class will take part in four immersive sessions in different parts of the state with local officials and experts.
