Headwaters Advisory Committee

The Headwaters Advisory Committee was formed in 2009 to bring business leaders, other Headwaters river groups, concerned citizens and river/lake enthusiasts together to discuss issues and concerns specific to Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River above Lake Lanier. It is also the goal of the Headwaters Committee to promote UCR in the headwaters and increase membership. The Headwaters Advisory Committee meets quarterly at the UCR Gainesville office or more often as necessary.
