GeorgiaForward recently selected Assistant City Manager Justin Strickland as one of the 45 promising professionals to serve the organization’s 2023 Young Gamechangers (YG) program.
YG is a unique leadership action program hosted by GeorgiaForward, a non-profit organization administrated by the Georgia Municipal Association. Young Gamechangers brings professionals from across the state to work on the persistent challenges of one Georgia community.
In 2023, Columbus-Muscogee County will host the Young Gamechangers. Columbus leaders have finalized their four “Challenge Questions” that the 2023 cohort will be charged to answer through the eight months they will spend developing specific, actionable recommendations for the community. These questions focus on economic development, community engagement, local entrepreneurship, and more.
“I am so excited to work with such a diverse group of accomplished, creative and hard-working Georgians and create a positive impact on Columbus-Muscogee County,” Strickland said. “I can’t wait to meet my fellow Gamechangers in April.”
GeorgiaForward engages young professionals with leaders in civics, industry, government, academia, and the media to find a common vision for Georgia. They accomplish this by creating an environment in which vision and pragmatism can overcome political deadlock, fostering communication and goodwill among Georgia’s stakeholders, and seeking innovative solutions to Georgia’s biggest challenges.
