Jennifer is a local Hall County resident with the education, work experience and competence to become a great asset for our Association. She comes to us from the City of Gainesville Department of Water Resources and shares our passion for Lake Lanier and preserving our natural resources”, states John Barker, President of the LLA.

I believe Lake Lanier is the most important resource for the surrounding communities and arguably all of Metro Atlanta. It is an economic driver for regional opportunities for recreation, area development and drinking water for residents and industries. Without Lake Lanier, the region and state would not be what they are today; which is why I am thrilled to be in this new role.” said Jennifer.

I am looking forward to the journey and contributing to the current and future initiatives of the Lake Lanier Association. I am excited to begin working with the very committed Board of Directors, volunteers, and community leaders of North Georgia to preserve a CLEAN FULL SAFE Lake Lanier”, said Jennifer Flowers.
