Southface Visionary Awards

Visionary Awards, Southface’s keystone fundraising event, invites the business community, sustainability leaders, innovators, and advocates to join us as we celebrate those who have boldly led sustainability efforts and raise vital funding. For over 25 years, the Visionary Awards has gathered leading organizations and visionary individuals to celebrate the sustainability achievements of global leaders such as Ray C. Anderson, Shirley Franklin, and Ambassador Andrew Young. This year we are honoring Kim Bednarek, Executive Director of Okefenokee Swamp Park. Her leadership helped advance the collaborative effort that made the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Georgia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2026. 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.
