This summer, members of the Altamaha Riverkeeper will receive the organization's first newsletter. Until then, this update will let you know about the organization's activities to date. One of the first duties of the Board was the adoption of bylaws.
Members can view the bylaws on-line .
In April, the Altamaha Riverkeeper received a letter from Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Chief Counsel for the Water Keeper Alliance, announcing that the Altamaha Riverkeeper has been officially accepted into the national organization. The Altamaha Riverkeeper joins 31 other river, bay, and sound keeper organizations from throughout the United States and Canada. Mr. Kennedy plans to visit Georgia this fall for the official launch of the Altamaha Riverkeeper. A search committee has interviewed prospective candidates for the position of Executive Director. The Altamaha Riverkeeper expects to make an announcement this month as to who will assume the lead position of the organization.
