Member Spotlight: Savannah, GA

September 11, 2025

Our Georgia Policy Manager, Joy Ward, recently headed to Savannah to connect with Interim Director of Programs, Nick Deffley, and the City of Savannah’s newly fully staffed Sustainability Department. 🎉

Savannah has been a committed SSDN member since 2014 and continues to lead the way with its 100% Savannah Plan—including bold commitments to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and fleet electrification. ⚡🚗🌱

For SSDN’s programs team, this visit was a chance to listen, learn, and explore how we can best support our coastal members and their communities.
