Whitney’s Listening Session with District 2 Board Member-elect, Whitney McGinnis, was a wonderful evening of community connection and conversation! We were honored to join the City of Brookhaven Mayor, John Park, DeKalb County School Board Member-elect Andrew Ziffer, and John Lewis Elementary School principal, Renita McMillan. Our very own District 2 Commissioner Michelle Long Spears shared insights on the challenges of county government, her dedication to education, Brookhaven’s service delivery strategy, and District 2’s SODA initiative (Save Our DeKalb Animals). She also highlighted her commitment to prioritizing housing. 🏡 It was a night of meaningful dialogue, and we’re grateful for everyone who came out! Thank you again Whitney for helping out this together. We are better together DeKalb!🤍@whitneyfordekalb @sdjpark @abziffer @johnlewiselementary #BetterTogetherDeKalb #DeKalbCountyD2 #District2 #CommissionerMichelleLongSpears See MoreSee Less

Today’s Board of Commissioners meeting was a deeply moving reminder of the importance of community and awareness. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those fighting and those we’ve lost. Commissioner Mereda Davis Johnson, who lost her beloved mother to this disease, shared a touching tribute that resonated with us all. Special thanks to Rabbi Mike Rothbaum from Congregation Bet Haverim for his inspirational words about resilience, love and our responsibility to our community. Along the way to wellness, we are one DeKalb, and always better together. 🤍 #BettertogetherDekalb #DeKalbCountyD2 #District #CommissionerMichelleLongSpears@meredadjohnson @demetriuspinkettjr @therealmccoydekalb @tedterry1 @commissionerpatrickd1 @commissionerbradshaw See MoreSee Less
