The GMPC curriculum is a rigorous year with a full calendar of conferences, retreats, seminars, reporting sessions and special events, including regular gatherings of the entire class for group activities and best practice sharing.

“This is very exciting for Macon-Bibb because we will again get to see our community on the big screen,” says District 2 Commissioner Larry Schlesinger. “This is a boon to business, tourism, and our positive identity, and I look forward to many more shows and movies coming here.”
