It was a great day for an Executive Luncheon! Thank you to all who came to hear from Augusta University's president, Russell Keen, Ed.D on Wednesday. His keynote highlighted the way the institution's $1.6B impact is less about what AU is doing on its own, and far more about the ways we all work together - through workforce development, research, and service to others - in building a strong, healthy economy for our region. Thank you to our sponsors who helped us put on this great event!
