Wells Fargo staffer Kelly Lee named to leadership class

Wells Fargo financial consultant Kelly Lee has been named to the Leadership Georgia Class of 2016.

Affiliated with the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Georgia trains and builds a network of emerging young leaders. Previous participants include former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn and former University of Georgia football coach Vince Dooley.

Each year, 63 participants are selected from hundreds of applicants, and class members visit five Georgia communities in a year-long exchange of ideas and experiences about issues affecting the state.

Incoming organization President Joy Lampley-Fortson will lead the program, which has a “One Georgia Stronger Together.” The class will travel to Brasstown Valley, Augusta, Jekyll Island, Tifton and Newnan.
