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.”
