In recognition of the 290th anniversary of the founding of the Georgia colony, the Honorable Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia, and Dr. W. Todd Groce, President and CEO of the Georgia Historical Society, officially appointed Dan Amos and Donna Hyland as the 2023 Georgia Trustees in a signing ceremony at the Georgia State Capitol.
“It is my privilege to join Dr. Groce in appointing this year’s additions to the Georgia Trustees, Dan Amos and Donna Hyland,” said Governor Kemp. “They embody the commitment to service that the Trustees represent and promote so diligently. As the Georgia Historical Society continues to preserve the history of the Peach State, I am proud to join them in recognizing these two great community leaders for their accomplishments.”
“It is my honor to be here with Governor Kemp as we appoint the 2023 Georgia Trustees, Dan Amos and Donna Hyland,” said Dr. Groce. “Their lives and commitment to service reflect the motto of the original Trustees, the founders of Georgia, whose guiding principle was ‘Not for Self, But for Others.’ We look forward to celebrating Dan and Donna and the ideal they represent at their induction ceremony.”
Amos and Hyland will be inducted as Georgia Trustees on April 22, 2023, at the Trustees Gala in Savannah.
In conjunction with the Governor’s Office, the Georgia Historical Society reestablished the Georgia Trustees in 2008 as a way of recognizing Georgians whose accomplishments and community service reflect the highest ideals of the founding body of Trustees. The original Georgia Trustees, a governing body chartered and appointed by His Majesty King George II of England in 1732 to establish a new colony in North America, founded Georgia upon the principle of Non Sibi, Sed Aliis, “Not for Self, But for Others.” The Governor annually appoints new Trustees whose history-making accomplishments and service reflect the original Trustees’ ideals.
