LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear
Leadership Cobb Alumni Members,
We
celebrated our 25th
Anniversary on May 31, 2008 and based on
all the feedback a wonderful time was
had by all. Without the dedication and
the generosity of our planning committee
and sponsors the celebration would not
have been possible.

the celebration, the new LCAA board and
other activities.
Sincerely,

Toria Morgan ('99)
LCAA President, 2008-2009 |

Service to the community should continue beyond your class year and
the Alumni Association plays an
important role in making this
possible.

priceless!

best place in the country to

better way to say "thank you" to
the founders of this
organization than by your
continued support!

We are very
appreciative to our

allowing us the
opportunity to have
such a centrally
located meeting
place.
Our first program will be Wednesday, Sept. 17 and our speaker will
be Georgia’s

November 2006 and
sworn in to office
on January 8, 2007
as Georgia's first

The Secretary of State office handles elections, but more
importantly the
constitutional
office oversees
corporations,
securities,
professional
licensing boards, as
well as controlling
the state archives
and the Capitol
museum.
Handel has been lauded for her leadership abilities in several
publications
including Georgia
Trend Magazine’s
“One of the 100 Most
Influential
Political Leaders in
Georgia;” Atlanta
Business Chronicle’s
“Most Influential
Atlantans;” and
B2B Magazine’s
“Georgia’s Diva,” an
award recognizing
the state’s leading
business women.
Please make

our first LCAA
breakfast,
