Membership and Application

What do members of the Sandy Springs City Council, heads of many City government agencies, upper management in more than 100 companies, nonprofit agency directors, and more than 200 other leaders in the Sandy Springs community have in common? All are alumni of Leadership Sandy Springs!

• Since its inception in 1987, Leadership Sandy Springs has been a nexus for all sectors of the community. Business, government, nonprofits, the religious community and volunteer leaders come together to learn, grow and engage with each other in order to make our community the best possible place to live and work.

• Each year, Leadership Sandy Springs forms a class of leaders with diverse backgrounds who have an interest in Sandy Springs. Through a carefully planned series of program days and activities, participants learn about the Sandy Springs area, hear from decision makers, interact with elected officials and community leaders and study issues facing businesses and our changing community.

• Leadership Sandy Springs is responsible for a variety of initiatives which have improved and enriched our community life, including Movies by Moonlight; Volunteer for a Better Sandy Springs Day; Youth Leadership Sandy Springs; and the establishment of Sandy Springs Revitalization (SSRI).

• Graduates say that LSS opens doors for civic involvement, career achievement and advancement, and increased leadership effectiveness. The networking contacts and opportunity to interact with community leaders and other LSS participants have proved to be invaluable.

“As one of Sandy Springs’ major businesses, we recognize the importance of a strong community leadership program. Leadership Sandy Springs is a valuable community asset, and we consider it an excellent investment in the city we call “home.”

- Pamela Short Jenkins, LSS ‘09
Senior Vice President, Wendy’s/Arby’s Group, Inc.
