NORTH FULTON, Ga. â As policing dominates national issues relating to law enforcement and race, a local woman has set out to create a dialogue between local officials and the community she hopes will foster positive conversations and build a better sense of community.
Alpharettaâs Sierra Toler has organized the âAlpharetta and Milton Community Conversationâ event scheduled for May 13 at St. James United Methodist Church, which will allow North Fulton residents to connect with local leaders.
A panel of local elected officials, police personnel and church leaders will take questions from the community relating to policing and how it relates to larger issues, including race. The panel will include Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin, Alpharetta Public Safety Director John Robison, Milton Police Chief Rich Austin, the Rev. Gregory Williams of St. James United Methodist Church and the Rev. Reginald Simmons of St. Aidanâs Episcopal Church.
