Testimonials

I found RLI to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. The investment of time and resources has been paid back tenfold by what I learned, the strengthening of existing relationships and the new friendships that I made with my classmates. I highly recommend the program.

RLI brought home to me that until now I have been too much an observer of the broader Atlanta region and not enough of a participant. It gave me a more holistic understanding of the issues and interrelationships facing us at the regional level, which will make me more effective in my work at every level.

RLI Class of 2011 - click for enlargementToday’s regional challenges require a new problem-solving capacity and the ability to work across political, geographical and institutional boundaries. Through RLI, leaders develop a broader awareness of the region in which they live, work and play. They also acquire a greater knowledge of the interdependence of the diverse communities that constitute the Atlanta region. The program focuses on topics relevant to current trends and issues. The curriculum provides a framework for understanding organizational and institutional processes and responsibilities for regional planning, problem-solving and community building. National and regional experts address diverse topics, including ingredients of a successful region, community collaboration, transportation, land use, economic and social trends.
