Our February 2, 2013, Branch meeting was held at the beautiful Woodruff Library on the campus of Clark Atlanta University.  Members of the Cobb and North Fulton Branches also participated in the program that focused on public policy and legislative issues.

An outstanding panel of speakers provided in-depth information about specific topics.  Taifah Butler, Deputy Director of the Georgia Budget Policy Initiative, outlined the current budget’s expenses and revenues which you can review click here.
