The Atlanta Regional Commission today announced that 54 leaders from metro Atlanta’s public, private, and nonprofit sectors have been selected to participate in the 2023 Regional Leadership Institute (RLI).
The immersive program provides local leaders with the opportunity to explore key regional issues and potential solutions while building their leadership skills. This year’s RLI program will take place in two phases: Aug. 29-30 at ARC’s downtown Atlanta conference center; and Oct. 8-11 at the Legacy Lodge at Lake Lanier.
The 2023 RLI class will look at issues including transportation planning, infrastructure investments, climate mitigation, workforce development, and place a special focus on housing affordability.
“We are so excited to bring these talented leaders together and offer the opportunity to collaborate with peers from across metro Atlanta and tackle common challenges from a regional perspective,” said ARC Executive Director & CEO Anna Roach. “These are the decision-makers who will help move our region forward in the years to come.”
