Milton Mayor Joe Lockwood will speak for 11 North Georgia cities as a newly elected regional president with the Georgia Municipal Association.

Lockwood will represent the North Region of GMA District 3, which includes the cities of Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Mountain Park and Milton in North Fulton County; and Woodstock, Holly Springs, Canton, Ball Ground and Waleska in Cherokee County.

“It’s an honor to represent our region as part of the Georgia Municipal Association,” Lockwood said. “It’s valuable, too, for the city of Milton to have a seat at the table, especially in these unique and challenging times.”

GMA is a non-profit organization serving Georgia's 538 municipal governments through legislative advocacy, educational opportunities, employee benefits to members and other activities, according to a Milton announcement.

As liaison between the 11 cities and GMA, Lockwood will serve up to two years or the remainder of his term in office, which ends in January 2022. Information: https://bit.ly/2ChoQsb
