We are thrilled to introduce our Young Professionals Board! This is a group of 12 diverse individuals in their 20s and 30s who will serve together to offer guidance and ideas to the FCS team.
We are always working to listen closely to our community and a wide variety of perspectives. As such, we recognize that this group of younger professionals will offer unique insights thanks to their age, professions, and personal backgrounds. It has already been a joy to get to know them and hear what they have to say about our work here in Historic South Atlanta!
The Young Professionals Board also offers us another way to invest in the next generation of people doing place-based development. Serving on the board for a one-year term offers each member the chance to see our work up close. And it gives them a chance to make a difference in Atlanta alongside others who care.
“I’m most looking forward to being part of a community of young professionals who care about Historic South Atlanta. I’m also looking forward to building my leadership skills through the work the YP Board will do,” says Alexa Abbott, a Young Professionals Board Member and Community Development Advisor at Purpose Built Communities.
We couldn’t be more excited to work with Young Professionals like Alexa! Together we are unlocking an equitable, flourishing South Atlanta.
