Prior to her death in November 2014, Lynda Brannen Williamson envisioned a foundation charged with the mission of providing servant leadership training and mentoring to young, professional women in this area. Lynda's dream became a reality with the recent announcement of the members of the first class of the Lynda B. Williamson Women's Leadership Academy sponsored by the Lynda Brannen Williamson Foundation. Sixteen young women from Bulloch, Candler and Screven counties have been chosen to take part in the inaugural class.
