We gathered this week to reminisce and recognize GEDI's 50 years of impact on Alabama's citizens and communities. We are grateful for the people and partners who have walked with us on our journey and who have done the work that has changed lives in every Alabama county. Thank you to Auburn University President Christopher Roberts for hosting us in his home and to his staff for attending to every detail. We appreciate all our guests for taking the time and making the trips to join us as we commemorated this special occasion.

We're sharing a few photos from this week's celebration. If you captured special moments during the event, feel free to add some pictures in the comments.
