Dunwoody is looking for some good men and women to lead its new city.

To that end, an informational session will be held Saturday morning to familiarize citizens interested in running for city council or mayor with important issues candidates would face.

The program is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dunwoody Library at 5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Road.

Would-be candidates can hear from elected officials in other new communities including Sandy Springs, Milton and Johns Creek about the expense of running a campaign, the details necessary to qualify, the time commitment required of office holders, and common job duties, among other issues.

Dunwoody, which voted Tuesday to incorporate, will hold its first municipal elections Sept. 16. Six council positions, including three at-large and three district posts, are up for election, as is the mayor's office. Candidate registration is August 4-6.

One individual has publicly declared his candidacy so far, Robert Wittenstein, who is running for an at-large council spot. Wittenstein said he plans to attend the event.

A letter on the website for Citizens for Dunwoody Inc. urges people interested in serving the city to consider running for office. "If we don't get talented people with the best interests of the entire community to run, we won't capture the main benefit of becoming a city, i.e. good local representation," the note states.

A website offering information to would-be candidates has also been created.
