"The goal of the North Fulton Municipal Association (NFMA) is to promote intergovernmental cooperation among our six cities and provide a stronger voice on issues and events of mutual concern or interest to our communities," said it's newly elected Chairman, Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker.

Mayors Arthur Letchas (Alpharetta), Joe Lockwood (Milton), Deborah Upham (Mountain Park), Jere Wood (Roswell) and Eva Galambos (Sandy Springs) join Bodker, who said the NFMA "will serve as a vehicle to share best practices and ideas, working together to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions for our residents."

The other NFMA officers are Mayor Galambos, who was elected vice chair, and Mayor Wood, who will serve as secretary/treasurer.
