PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA -- Peachtree Corners city council member Lorri Christopher has been selected to participate in the Atlanta Regional Commission's Regional Leadership Institute.

The program is designed to prepare a divers group of community, government, business and nonprofit leaders to work collaboratively in addressing regional issues. The intensive one-week program aims to train, empower and support leaders so they may effect positive community change in the region.

To date over 1,400 leaders from local and state government, business, civic and non-profits have participated in the program which began in 1991. Class members are selected based on demonstrated leadership in the community.

"We are very proud of Councilmember Christopher for being selected to join this prestigious program," Mayor Mike Mason said in a news release. "Peachtree Corners, and the entire metro area, will benefit greatly from the information she gleans from the class."

The mission of the RLI program is to create a shared sense of community, build relationships of trust between businesses, government, non-profit, civic, religious, racial, ethnic and cultural groups, expand leaders’ knowledge of key issues and bring clarity, awareness and competencies required to lead the Atlanta region.

This year’s class will be held Sept. 25 – 30.
