President & CEO Sara Ray Named to the Leadership Georgia Class of 2025

The purpose of Leadership Georgia is to prepare strong and effective leaders for the future development of this state. Those who participate are emerging leaders from every nook and cranny of Georgia…the small town, the open country, the big city. Over the course of the program year, the class participants experience five hard-hitting programs that deal with crucial issues facing the towns, cities, suburbs, and rural communities of Georgia. Together, the class participants of Leadership Georgia seek mutual understanding of the challenges of the state and the solutions developed and implemented to drive change and success for all Georgians.

The 2025 Leadership Georgia Class will be led by President Camila Knowles of Atlanta. “Intentional – Informed – Inspired,” is the 2025 program theme.

Douglas County Chamber Board Chairman, Trent North, commented “I am thrilled to congratulate Sara Ray on her selection to the Leadership Georgia Class of 2025. As she joins other leaders in examining crucial issues facing Georgia’s communities, I’m confident she will proudly represent our county and bring valuable insights to benefit our community.

Sara is strongly committed to our community and invested in shaping Douglas County’s future. Therefore, we are eager to support her through this year-long journey, and we look forward to seeing how she will use this experience to help shape a brighter future for our community and our state.”
