GreyStone Power Luncheon sponsored by Georgia Power

The GreyStone Power Luncheons are held at the Douglasville Downtown Conference Center and The Centre at Arbor Connection. On average, over 150 community and business leaders attend this monthly event, which features a guest speaker and catered lunch.

About the Speaker:
A successful entrepreneur and respected former State Senator, Casey Cagle made history in 2006 by becoming the first Republican elected to Georgia’s second highest office.  In November of 2010 and 2014, in recognition of his outstanding efforts on behalf of the state his family has called home for seven generations, Georgia voters overwhelmingly re-elected Lieutenant Governor Cagle.

Additionally, he launched the Georgia College and Career Academy Network, a partnership between local community leaders, school systems, and Georgia’s technical colleges.  The college and career academies provide a relevant and rigorous curriculum aimed at preparing students for a highly skilled, 21st-Century economy upon graduation.  Thanks to Casey’s leadership, Georgia has 34 College and Career Academies today with additional academies planned every year.

An avid triathlete, Casey leads Healthy Kids Georgia, an effort to encourage local partnerships that introduce children to healthy lifestyle options.  Under the slogan of “Be Fit.  Be Healthy. Be You.” the initiative helps acquaint children with ways to improve their health and wellness.  Working together, local communities are beginning to stem the tide of childhood obesity in ways that are proven to increase academic achievement and reduce long-term healthcare costs.

Casey’s leadership has been recognized beyond the state of Georgia as well. After being named one of the 100 most influential Georgians, Casey was one of four public servants in the country to be honored by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools with the Champion for Charters Award.
