Our speaker tomorrow is John Lanier.
As executive director of the Ray C Anderson Foundation, John carries forward the legacy of Ray C. Anderson, founder of Interface, Inc., who pioneered the idea that businesses can be both profitable and environmentally restorative. Guided by his vision of the “double bottom line,” the Foundation invests in initiatives that create measurable economic opportunity while advancing sustainability, equity, and long-term community impact. He'll discuss practical climate mitigations strategies happening in Thomasville and around the state.
