About 250 stakeholders from across Georgia brainstormed in Macon on Wednesday to find ways to improve the state’s prospects in the next few decades.
The first GeorgiaForward Forum at Macon State College united statewide leaders in fields such as economics, politics, education, water management and other areas of concern for Georgia. A.J. Robinson, president of Central Atlanta Progress, the organization that developed the GeorgiaForward Forum concept, said he hopes the forum will become an annual event.
“We felt like there was a need to have this conversation,” he said. “In business, education, politics, you never have that unified vision. There’s a lot in the state that divides us. We feel like we’ve fallen behind (other states in the Southeast). We need to catch up. The conference is about what it means to be a Georgian in the 21st century.”
