Jenkins announced unexpectedly Jan. 20 that she was stepping down from the seat she had held since the city was incorporated to take a new position with a travel planning company. City Council will set a date for the election to fill the post at its meeting Feb. 2,
Sterling said, “I was the one who originally recruited her to run for that seat.”
Sterling was a member of the Committee for Sandy Springs and co-chairman of the Sandy Springs Referendum Committee. In addition, he was chairman of the Sandy Springs Fire/EMS Transition Task Force.
He is Vice President of Landmark Communications, a Duluth-based public relations and political consulting firm and is vice chairman of the Sandy Springs Hospitality and Tourism Board.
