The Southeast Georgia Leadership Forum recently announced details about the 2025 Forum, to be held March 3-4, 2025, at Kehoe Iron Works at Trustees Garden in Savannah.
“The Forum is designed to bring established and emerging leaders together in an innovative environment promoting leadership development, networking and collaborative teamwork for the betterment of our growing Coastal Georgia region,” said Charles Hill Morris, co-founder of the annual event. “We are excited about this year’s speakers and, as part of the two-day event, attendees will be given the opportunity to tour various sites based on community interest.”
More than 400 people have attended each of the past three Forums, including emerging, established and diverse leaders from civic groups, non-profits, neighborhoods, government and business. The Forum also awards scholarships to leaders who cannot afford the cost of attendance and would benefit by being in attendance.
Past Forum speakers have included Stedman Graham, Horst Schulze, Michael Thurmond, John O’Leary, Hala Moodlemog, and Mashama Bailey/John Morisano, Malcolm Mitchell, Bruce McCabe, and Stephanie Stuckey.
The 2025 speaker lineup will include:
