The LHA’s Mission Statement

Members of the Lake Hartwell Association serve the needs of all Lake Hartwell residents and regular lake visitors by focusing on the following 4 principles:

  1. We will develop and establish the Lake Hartwell Association as an organization that promotes and encourages cooperation, assistance, and information exchange among those concerned with Lake Hartwell and the Savannah River Basin.
  2. We will provide a forum to collectively represent our membership on issues that pertain to the development, preservation, and comprehensive management of Lake Hartwell.
  3. We will collect and distribute information on matters affecting Lake Hartwell.
  4. We will maintain liaisons and communications between the Lake Hartwell Association and related educational institutions, governmental agencies, scientific facilities, and other local communities.

If you are interested in joining the LHA and participating as an individual member or business partner, or are interested in chairing one of our committees, please contact us today!

Read your LHA newsletters, you might have noticed an increase in the water related activities, public issues, state legislation, member meetings, etc. Our efforts to support the quality of the lake for you are constantly growing and we need help in all areas and on all our committees. There are different levels of help needed, and most do not require a lot of time or specific skills, just someone willing to assist.

If you can help, or you would like to talk to one of the LHA Directors, please review a committee or activity below, and contact us.
