Happy 2022! Please know that the Heart of Georgia RESA staff members appreciate the support of the leaders and all other staff from the 10 member districts and from partnering organizations. The HEART network "works" because of the mutual respect of all entities working toward a common vision of always striving to Help, Guide, Reach, Extend, and Serve All. As we reflect on the past, those who are no longer with us are remembered and cherished. Professional friendships have been established in this HEART network that will last a lifetime. As we look to the future, may we continuously seek to find MORE: forgiveness, patience, kindness, understanding, empathy, care, helping hands, love, faith, and peace. Happy New Year...
