To the Editor:
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I am writing to extend congratulations to attorney Joseph S. “Trey” Bennett III of Hoschton on his appointment by Gov. Brian Kemp to serve as executive director of the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA).
All Georgians will benefit from Mr. Bennett’s leadership of GEFA, which provides loans for public water, wastewater and solid waste infrastructure; manages energy efficiency and renewable energy programs; administers land conservation loans; and manages and monitors state-owned fuel storage tanks.
A member of the Georgia Bar since 2013, Mr. Bennett most recently served as general counsel and grants division director of the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget. He previously served as deputy executive counsel to Gov. Kemp and began his legal career as an assistant district attorney and private litigator in northeast Georgia.
By accepting this appointment, Trey Bennett demonstrates his continued commitment to public service. We wish him well in this capacity of state leadership.
Sincerely,
Christopher P. Twyman
President, State Bar of Georgia
