Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education

The 2024 Georgia EPFP cohort kicked off their year of programming with a transformative retreat at Callaway Resort & Gardens! It’s always an incredible time of listening, learning, and team-building with dedicated, like-minded peers. There's something truly special about stepping away from the hustle and bustle, taking a breath, and investing in our growth together. Looking forward to all the impactful work ahead!
