John Moeller Named One of Georgia's 500 Most Influential Leaders
AWARD-WINNING IMPACT
Reflecting on the past few years, Inspiritus has emerged through seasons that were filled with both challenges and victories. We want to take this moment to celebrate with you two outstanding acknowledgments that reflect the commitment and perseverance of the people that make this organization great. The success of our work is built on the efforts of our staff, board, volunteers and collaborative partners. Thank you for helping us provide award-winning services to neighbors that need it the most.
John Moeller, President & CEO of Inspiritus, was named one of Georgia’s 500 most influential leaders for 2022 by Georgia Trend magazine. The list of leaders was published in a special annual magazine called Georgia 500. It identifies the state’s most influential leaders across 21 industry sectors focusing on economic development and local investment. Selections are based on extensive research, nominations, and hundreds of interviews, resulting in a selective guide to Georgians who impact the Peach State. Moeller was named in the non-profit sector.
“I am humbled to be recognized in Georgia Trend’s Most Influential Leaders 2022,” said Moeller, “It is a testament not to me, but to our incredibly dedicated teams. This honor is a reflection of their leadership and commitment to seeing individuals to thriving. I am grateful to our board, staff, volunteers and partners who continue to stand with us. There's no higher calling than to community service."
John Moeller's unrelenting commitment to empowering those we accompany on their path from surviving to thriving is truly an inspiration to the Inspiritus organization, our collaborative partners and the communities in which we serve. Congratulations John!
