A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
On Monday, the members of the Georgia General Assembly returned to the State Capitol to begin the 2013 Legislative Session. With nine members of the GTLA Family among them, these lawmakers are set to embark on a challenging and far-too-often thankless mission. Though they come from opposite sides of the aisle and from all different walks of life, legislators convene under the Gold Dome for one reason – to make the State of Georgia a better place. But legislators should not be expected to carry this burden alone.

GRASSROOTS REPORT
As many of you know, an opportunity to serve my local community in the Georgia General Assembly was presented to me this past September. Going forward, I want let you know that my commitment to the continued success of GTLA's Grassroots Initiative and the development of our local TLAs will be my primary focal point within the association. Though my role has changed at GTLA, I will continue to serve on staff as the Grassroots Coordinator and point of contact for all local TLAs.
