In 2017, Leadership Georgia established the Marcia B.

Wade Scholarship Fund to honor one of our earliest champions. Marcia believed deeply in Leadership Georgia’s mission, and her unwavering support helped shape the organization from its very beginning alongside her husband, founder Rogers Wade. This year, the Leadership Georgia Board of Trustees unanimously voted to rename the scholarship the Rogers and Marcia B. Wade Tuition Assistance Scholarship, recognizing the lasting impact of both Rogers and Marcia and the partnership that helped build Leadership Georgia into the statewide leadership program it is today. Announced during the 2026 Alumni Homecoming Weekend, this new name honors two visionary leaders whose legacy continues to open doors and invest in future generations of Leadership Georgia leaders. Here’s to carrying their legacy forward. 🍑
