The IIBEC Georgia Chapter will honor its 25 past presidents during its December 11, 2026, chapter meeting. Since its founding in 1999, the chapter has had the honor of seeing five of its members become presidents of RCI and IIBEC.
Typically, the last meeting of the year includes the election of next year’s chapter board of directors. Combining the Past President Luncheon provides a sense of continuity in recognizing previous leadership and welcoming the newest leadership team.
In an increasingly challenging period for reaching out to volunteers, honoring those who served is more important than ever. Whether service is in committee work or leadership, the long-term health of our organization rests on those who continue to volunteer their time and talent.
