The Georgia Public Defender Council recognized graduates of the GPDC Leadership Academy during a ceremony at the Georgia State Capitol in late May. Launched in partnership with the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government, the GPDC Leadership Academy is a leadership development program for public defenders. Over the course of one year, participants take part in 28 days of leadership development classes featuring collaborative work and project-based learning focused on improving public defense practices and outcomes.
