Message from GACA Executive Director

Dear Members and Friends,

I am honored to accept the position of GACA Executive Director and to follow the successful leadership of my predecessors in serving this organization. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities for the GACA moving forward and welcome the advice and assistance of the membership.

Special thanks to Al Thomas at the University of West Georgia with all his help for All Star Softball and Barney Hester with Bibb County Athletics for providing assistance with All Star Soccer in Macon. These two events recognized over 100 High School Athletes and 24 Coaches at their respective All Star Events earlier in June 2021.

The GACA is currently gearing up for a great fall (with no covid restrictions!) and reminding everyone that our membership drive for the GACA / GBCA / GFCA is in FULL SWING!

Bobby and Tracie will still be involved with the GACA and Debbie Stephens will be joining the team as the GACA Executive Assistant. You can reach us any time at 770-578-6366.

Thank you for your support,

Craig
