Leadership group picks new head

The government and business leader development program Leadership Sandy Springs has a new director.

Jan Paul will take over from current executive director Carolyn Axt, who plans to retire when the group’s current programming year winds up in June. Paul served as Leadership Sandy Springs’ development director after taking part in the LSS leadership class of 2013. She’s also executive vice president of iSquared Communications, a local marketing and PR firm.

The non-profit group stages an annual leadership development course and sponsors various community projects.
