Brookhaven Candidates Attend Training

Here's a list of candidates who attended recent training sessions offered by the Georgia Municipal Association.


Several Brookhaven candidates attended two recent training sessions offered by the Georgia Muncipal Association (GMA).

The sessions covered such topics as the role and duties of the mayor and council; the role of elected officials; budget setting processes; and open meetings requirements.

The GMA is the only state organization that represents municipal governments in Georgia. Based in Atlanta, the GMA is a voluntary, non-profit organization that provides legislative advocacy, educational, employee benefit and technical consulting services to its members.
