The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has an interesting story out of Cobb County, Ga., where four new board members have joined the board of the Cobb Community Foundation.
The foundation is a charitable organization that raises money for causes in the county.
The four new board members are Carole Cox, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments; David Dunn, managing partner at Atlantica Properties; Ray Thomas, president of Mableton's Taste of Mableton festival; and Cheryl Richardson, a retired US attorney and former associate judge in Georgia's State Bar of Georgia and Cobb County Bar Association.
"Like all our board members, these four individuals are all so well-respected and deeply connected to Cobb County," says CEO Shari Martin.
"I cannot wait to see the impact they will have as we continue to grow our donor advised and other charitable funds so we do even more to help our community thrive."
