We are the voice of citizens around the lake and across the region, striving to represent all aspects and users of the lake including wildlife, fish, homeowners and recreational users. With your help we can continue to preserve and protect this important natural resource.

The LLA team is growing! We are excited to officially welcome Emma Bredfeldt as LLA’s new Development Coordinator.
As LLA continues to grow, Emma's role fills an important need by helping lead our member, donor, and sponsor development efforts through recruitment, retention, and engagement initiatives. She will allow LLA to make an even greater positive impact on Lake Lanier.
A recent graduate of the University of North Georgia, Emma earned her Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations in Spring 2026. Before joining the team full-time, she served as LLA's Special Events and Marketing Intern from August 2025 through graduation.
During her internship with the Lake Lanier Association, Emma contributed to event planning, social media marketing, volunteer engagement, as well as the largest Shore Sweep to date. One of her favorite experiences was the Annual Member Celebration, where she had the opportunity to recognize and celebrate all who make LLA's work possible.
Emma is excited to continue working alongside members, sponsors, donors, and community partners in support of LLA's mission to keep Lake Lanier Clean, Full, and Safe.
Please join us in welcoming Emma Bredfeldt to the LLA Team as our Development Coordinator! 🎉

Congratulations to Bruce Longmore on receiving the Charlie Spencer Volunteer of the Year Award!
Bruce has been a dedicated volunteer in the Lake Lanier community for many years. Longmore owns Lennys Subs in Cumming, GA, and has generously provided hundreds of meals in support of LLA's educational Lunch and Learn events, and many other non-profit endeavors.
When establishing the Volunteer of the Year award in 2023, LLA decided to name this award in Charlie Spencer’s honor. Charlie was an integral part of the Lake Lanier community and always offered to help out at Shore Sweep or was quick to help when a fellow boater was in need.
Our hope is that each year when we present this award, it will serve as a reminder to embrace adventure, lend a hand when possible, and live each day to its fullest. 💙
Thank you Bruce for all you do to help preserve and protect Lake Lanier. 👏 ... See MoreSee Less
