SAGE Speaker Series
Sustainable Growth in Georgia
Georgia Conservancy Atlanta Office
What to Expect
Join SAGE for the second installment of our Speaker Series as we explore one of Georgia Conservancy’s key program areas: Sustainable Growth.
SAGE (Stewards and Advocates for Georgia’s Environment) is a new community within the Georgia Conservancy, bringing together women who care deeply about protecting our state’s natural resources and want to be more engaged, informed, and connected in that work.
As Georgia continues to grow, thoughtful planning is essential to protecting the landscapes, communities, and natural resources that make our state unique.
Hear from a panel of planning and development professionals as they discuss current growth trends, what sustainable growth and urban planning look like in practice, why they matter for Georgia’s future, and how Georgia Conservancy works with communities across the state to balance growth with land conservation and environmental stewardship.
Our panelists include:
Anna Baggett, Community Planning Associate, TSW Planning Studio
Elizabeth Williams, Director of Urban Design, Kronberg Urbanists + Architects
Michaela Master, Community Planning Lead, Georgia Conservancy
Vanessa Rodrigues Lira, Office Director at Toole Design
Whether you’re passionate about conservation, community planning, or simply curious about how Georgia can grow while protecting the places we love, this conversation will provide valuable insights and opportunities for discussion.
