The Lake Lanier Association (LLA) is a nonprofit advocacy group whose goal is to keep Lake Lanier clean, full and safe.
LLA’s 1,700 member households and businesses, representing over 3,000 individuals, promote community education and awareness about the state of Lake Lanier and what can be done to improve it.
Their annual meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2013, from 5:15 PM until about 8:30 PM. This year’s gathering includes innovative additions.
From 5:15 until 6:45 PM, a business expo will be held to introduce attendees to merchants and services available to those who visit Lake Lanier.

The “business portion” of the membership meeting begins at 6:45 PM. There will be a review of accomplishments in 2012 and a discussion of plans for 2013 and beyond.
