We are excited for this year's 37th Annual Awards Luncheon as an opportunity to come together and to celebrate the affiliate network and honor those whose ongoing efforts exemplify leadership in protecting Georgia’s environment.
Our guest speaker will be Bill Bolling. Mr. Bolling served as executive director of the Atlanta Community Food Bank since founding the organization in 1979 until June 2015. Over the span of 36 years, he led the Food Bank's distribution of more than half a billion pounds of food and grocery products through a network of more than 600 local and regional partner nonprofit organizations that feed the hungry across 29 Georgia counties. As a charter member of Feeding America, the national network of food banks, Bill was instrumental in the start-up of food banks across the country. He is a frequent speaker on topics related to hunger, poverty, regionalism, affordable housing and public policy reform. His skills in bridging various public sectors have made him a leader in strengthening the community to serve those most in need.
