From tornadoes to grid disruptions, communities across the Southeast are facing rising threats. But resilience doesn’t happen by chance—it’s built by design. Groundswell builds community power to increase local resilience for everyone and cut electricity bills in half for our neighbors who need savings the most.
On Wednesday, April 30, at noon ET, Groundswell kicks off its 2025 Rural Renaissance Webinar Series with a timely conversation you won’t want to miss: Resilience by Design. Discover how community-driven resilience hubs are transforming how small towns prepare for—and thrive during—crises. These hubs are more than backup plans; they’re lifelines that keep the power on, the heat running, and the community connected when it matters most.
This isn’t theory—it’s action. Learn how local leaders and innovators are using resilient infrastructure to protect lives, reduce energy burdens, and create jobs.
Meet the changemakers:
- Matthew Wesley Williams, Senior Vice President of Community Development, Groundswell
- Mandy Mahoney, CEO, MahoneyOne
- Councilman Jaceey Sebastian, City of South Fulton
- Brooke Williams, Principal Engineer, Southern Company
Together, they'll spotlight real-world resilience in action—like the Community Resilience Hub at the Vicars Community Center in Atlanta’s District 4, located in one of Georgia’s most tornado-prone counties. Why now? Because resilience is urgent. Because infrastructure decisions made today will determine whether our communities thrive tomorrow.
Reserve your seat now and be part of the transformation.
