Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall to join Leadership Atlanta's Board of Trustees

Atlanta City Councilman Kwanza Hall has been selected to serve on the Board of Trustees for Leadership Atlanta, the longest-running community leadership program in the nation. Leadership Atlanta is commemorating 43 years in the metro area this year. It was formed by a concerned group of citizens at the Chamber of Commerce as a formal initiative to address the need for a more knowledgeable cadre of committed leaders. It became an independent organization in 1977.

Hall, an Atlanta native, represents District 2, Atlanta's most economically and culturally diverse district. He currently chairs the Atlanta City Council's Advisory Committee on International Relations. Before his election to City Council, Mr. Hall served three years on the Atlanta Board of Education. He is a graduate of the Leadership Atlanta Class of 2007.

"I am honored to join the Board of Trustees," Hall said. "I hope that I can offer a unique perspective to the board."
