It is the only program of its kind that focuses solely on the issues facing Paulding County. LIA equips future business and civic leaders with the knowledge and experience necessary to make an impact in our community. Throughout the course, participants tour Paulding County and engage in discussions and activities with established community leaders to address critical community issues.
