| Institute at the Sheraton Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta. This past year, Georgia Adult Education has serviced over 95,000 students, and the Eagle Leadership Institute is an exciting celebration of outstanding achievement in adult literacy. The program honors one delegate representing each participating Service Delivery Area (SDA) who has demonstrated exceptional achievement in adult education classes. The Leadership Institute is an opportunity to recognize all Eagle delegates across the state of Georgia and to celebrate the achievements of these individuals. This year, Annie Bell of Ellaville was chosen out of a six-county SDA to represent South Georgia Technical College Adult Education Department as its Eagle delegate. SGTC Adult Education Director Jan Hobgood, Bell, and her instructor Erin Wright, traveled to Atlanta and attended sessions and workshops focused on increasing leadership, communication and life management skills. Activities other than workshops included a tour of CNN in downtown Atlanta, an Eagle Spirit Award Social, and an Awards Luncheon. “The tour of CNN was really interesting,” Bell said. “To see what all goes on to take the information and turn it into the news programs was fascinating.” Guest speakers for the Awards Luncheon included: Ms. Carol Lin, CNN contributor and former CNN anchor for the weekend edition of CNN Newsroom, and Dr. Kenneth L. Samuel, president of the DeKalb County NAACP, pastor of Victory for the World Church in Stone Mountain. Dr. Samuel was licensed and ordained under the pastorates of Dr. Joseph Roberts and Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. He is also the author of Solomon’s Success: Four Essential Keys to Leadership. During the ceremony, each of the delegates was awarded an Eagle Trophy for their exceptional achievements in Adult Education. |
