CLASS

Leadership Sandy Springs is a "class" program where groups of business leaders, owners and civic volunteers collectively work towards the greater good and advancement of the City and Community of Sandy Springs.

On Wednesday, May 11, 2011 Leadership Sandy Springs celebrated the graduation of its 24th class. The graduating class includes 28 members who work in the Sandy Springs area, servicing the corporate world, local government and non-profit community. The commencement ceremony and dinner was held at Sheraton Atlanta, Perimeter North Hotel in Sandy Springs.

LSS develops community leaders by bringing together a group of individuals from throughout Sandy Springs representing various sectors of the community each year. The nine-month program presents information on all aspects of the Sandy Springs community from local and state government to education to civic and cultural issues. Each year the class completes service projects to benefit Sandy Springs.

LSS Alumni have been tapped to serve on many city of Sandy Springs and Fulton County task forces, advisory committees and policy making boards. They fill significant positions with the city of Sandy Springs and serve as directors on non-profit boards in the community.

On Wednesday evening, three alumni members received 2011 Alumni Recognition Awards for demonstrating outstanding leadership in the community.
