Welcome to Sandy Springs 6
A Letter from the Mayor
Welcome to Sandy Springs! Our first decade as a city saw progress and growth as we came into our own as a newly formed city. Our second decade begins with tremendous excitement. Sandy Springs is the geographic, commercial, communications, medical and retail heart of the metro Atlanta region. Located at the crossroads of I-285 and Ga. 400, the metro area’s two most-traveled arteries, our city is home to such iconic companies as United Parcel Service, AirWatch, Cox Enterprises, First Data, Veritiv, SecureWorks, Graphics Packaging, Intercontinental Exchange and Mercedes-Benz USA. You’ll find that our community blends classic Southern hospitality and friendliness with distinctly modern sensibilities. Aging strip centers and apartments are being replaced with cutting-edge mixed-use developments. The catalyst for transforming the heart of the city is our City Springs project. Soon, the doors will open to an ultra-modern complex featuring high-end housing, new municipal offices, a stateof-the-art performing arts center and adjacent studio theater, a 4-acre city green and a sparkling new retail district. City Springs will be the city’s heartbeat, a central gathering place providing the connective tissue vital to “community.” It will be the “go-to” district for businesses and residents alike. From a corporate perspective, location is important, and Sandy Springs does not disappoint. Served by five interstate interchanges and four MARTA rail stations, you can arrive anywhere in the region within minutes. And, if the world is your territory, Sandy Springs’ MARTA stations provide a direct link to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. At Hartsfield, you are within a two-hour flight to 80 percent of the United States and a nonstop flight to and from many international destinations. While access is great, our quality of life is even better. Sandy Springs boasts both an urban energy and a laidback lifestyle rarely found in today’s edge city environments. You can color us green because Sandy Springs literally is a city within a forest, with one of the largest tree canopies in the United States. Our park system offers unique, enjoyable experiences and our city encompasses 22 miles of the Chattahoochee River shoreline — including one of the country’s largest river boundary national parks. What major city offers wild and scenic kayaking, fly fishing, mountain trails and quiet meditation just a few steps away from more than 300 restaurants, live music, theater, festivals and dozens of other entertainment options? It is an exciting time, but city leadership also is mindful of the need for smart growth. We used 2016 as a time of introspection, engaging our residents and the business community to plan our Next Ten, a strategic road map defining our future as a community. This Comprehensive Land Use Plan will chart our progress in the decade ahead. A key emphasis is transportation, a dominant issue for our region. We are modernizing our infrastructure and incorporating alternative transportation modes that connect people to the places they want to go because that’s what the future demands. When you study our history, you’ll find Sandy Springs was created by a resolute and single-minded community — a community determined to grow wisely and prosperously. That’s a commitment we’ve also made to our future. We are delighted to have you as part of our community. Sincerely, Rusty Paul | Mayor City of Sandy Springs

A Letter from the 2017 Chamber Board Chairman
On behalf of the of the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber, I welcome you to Sandy Springs, the second-largest city in the Atlanta metro area.

From our Fortune 500 and international companies to our homegrown small businesses and our beautiful residential neighborhoods, Sandy Springs offers everyone a successful environment in which to live, work, grow and prosper. With the largest Class A office market in the Southeast and as home to more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other Georgia city, the Sandy Springs/Perimeter area not only knows big business, we haven’t forgotten our Southern roots. In fact, Yelp, the company whose purpose it is to connect consumers with great local businesses, recently named Sandy Springs No. 1 among its 2016 Cities of Distinction at its inaugural Bizzie awards. The award recognizes the most customer-friendly small businesses and communities in America. In 2017 we look forward to many great things continuing to happen in our community. The construction of the Mercedes-Benz USA headquarters will be well under way.

Springs “downtown,” will include apartments, townhouses, boutique shops and restaurants, and create a sense of place for a city that has longed for a definable central gathering place. City Springs embodies Sandy Springs’ spirit of community — and its strong commitment to smart design and approachable, efficient government. “The contractors have been great to work with,” says Patty Conway, a consumer business banker at Fidelity Bank, located next to City Springs. Despite the hubbub of construction, her customers are glad the bank is staying at the center of things. “Everyone in Sandy Springs wants to support the businesses and the people. There’s so much interaction, you don’t find it in other cities.” Sandy Springs, Georgia’s sixth-largest city, incorporated in 2005 after a 30-year campaign for cityhood. It quickly became known as a trailblazer for efficient city government, pioneering an unusual publicprivate partnership to implement municipal services.
CVITY OF SANDY SPRINGS
About Sandy Springs 12
Look around Sandy Springs right now. Do it. You’ll see a hum of activity. Trucks pouring concrete. Workers hoisting beams. Buildings going up. The gleaming, glass-fronted City Springs complex is rising, due for completion in summer 2018. “It’s a shared place of community for the city as a whole,” says Mayor Rusty Paul. Equally exciting to city leaders is that construction of the new city center is helping revitalize Roswell Road and move forward a vision for Sandy Springs in the next 10 years. City Springs — some 15 acres where Mount Vernon and Johnson Ferry roads meet Roswell Road — will house city offices and provide meeting space. It will have a performing arts center and a studio theater. It will accommodate small performances as well as big parties and events, and include a 4-acre city green outside, also available for events. The complex, envisioned as the core of Sandy
About Sandy Springs
As a result, Sandy Springs has the state’s lowest ratio of city employees to citizens. The public-private partnership is widely seen as as a model for other communities, with at least six other Georgia cities incorporating and using the model to govern. Representatives from around the globe have been visiting to learn more. But Let’s go back a bit. In 2012, after a yearlong, public-involved planning process, Sandy Springs City Council adopted a plan to develop a downtown area — the City Center Master Plan. City officials immediately began working to develop the master block. The project was intended to act as a catalyst for change, expected to take hold over a five- to 10-year period. The spark turned out to be instantaneous.
The Master Plan calls for a walkable grid of streets, a network of green spaces and a mix of retail, dining and housing. Then, as Sandy Springs approached its first decade of cityhood, leaders considered anew its physical and social fabric. With plenty of citizen input, they crafted a new vision and policy document known as the Next Ten, which focuses on the decade ahead. Over the course of 2016, the Next Ten planning team led dozens of publically involved meetings and workshops. People were invited to make comments on an interactive online map. The Next Ten team solicited feedback at such well-attended events as the annual Sandy Springs Festival in September and at mobile workshops at nine locations. Residents were asked what they love
about Sandy Springs and what it needs — input that became part of the Next Ten process. The plan preserves and protects the character of the city’s beautiful existing neighborhoods but provides for new housing options for millennials, emptynesters and senior citizens, many of whom prefer compact, walkable urban surroundings. The comprehensive land use plan is intended to reflect the community’s aspirations and goals for the city, and setting out policies and recommendations for reaching those goals. “The culmination of this effort is a plan reflective of the thoughts and desires of the community,” according to Paul. The Next Ten calls for a balance of housing to enable middle-income people

About Sandy Springs
Small area plans will zero in on several locations. Roswell Road, ultimately, is envisioned as a pedestrianfriendly urban boulevard that will include a divided roadway at various 14
points with a grassy center median and tree-lined sidewalks. The Perimeter Center / Medical Center area will become a humanscaled district where people live and work. An urban greenway will run along Peachtree Dunwoody Road and a major park will be built over Ga. 400. The Powers Ferry area will have better pedestrian and bicycle
connections to parks and retail areas. An improved walkable “retail village” could be developed south of I-285. The Next Ten plan creates a series of interconnected centers, destinations and unique places in Sandy Springs. And City Springs is at its center. “The heartbeat of a city is its downtown,” the mayor says. “This is Sandy Springs’ gift to itself.”

and those employed in Sandy Springs to live near work. It envisions concentrated development around future and existing MARTA stations and encourages a variety of transportation options — including walking, biking and public transit. The plan addresses traffic, making local neighborhood streets part of a connected network with access between workplaces, residences and transit. A new development code will spell out an orderly, predictable and reliable process to protect neighborhoods and ensure high-quality development. It will preserve the charm of Sandy Springs’ rolling hills, extensive tree canopy and Chattahoochee River area. An expanded trail network will connect neighborhoods to green spaces.

Dale Gordon De Sena is a woman who likes to party in a big way. You probably know one little event she has spearheaded every year since 1994 — Taste of Atlanta, the sprawling restaurant fest that takes over Midtown Atlanta every October. Now she has a claim to festival fame that’s a little closer to home. “I was looking around one day, and I thought, ‘Why don’t we have anything like this up here in Sandy Springs?’” she says. “We didn’t have anything like a really fun nighttime party. I live up here, and our Taste of Atlanta offices are actually on Powers Ferry Road and I-285 in the city of Sandy Springs. And, in the last year or so, many new chef-driven restaurants have opened.” So, she and her Taste team started planning. The result was the first “Food that Rocks – A Celebration of Sandy Springs” in May 2016, aided with a 40-member host committee of locals and 24 area sponsors. The one-night music-and-food drew 975 diners checking out 20 restaurants and bars and benefited three local charities: the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance, Ian’s Friends Foundation and Second Helpings Atlanta. The event, in tents in Hammond Park, also featured two Sandy Springs bands: Ed Roland and The Sweet Team Project and Tony Levitas and Friends. De Sena is already looking ahead to 2017’s Food that Rocks, 7 to 11 p.m. May 20, again at Hammond Park, with new bands and beneficiaries to be announced closer to the event. The event bears a passing resemblance to its bigger sibling in its focus on local, chef-driven restaurants, live music and what De Sena calls “a Party with a Purpose,” but it’s not “Taste Lite.” “We wanted to create something more intimate, where chefs can meet their fans and where attendees can have conversations with them,” she says. “This event is also more all-inclusive, where one ticket [$55 advance/$65 at the door in 2016] gets you food, wine, beer and cocktails.” The event also features a little competition among chefs. Jamie Adams, chef-owner of Il Giallo Osteria & Bar, won Best Taste for his duck and rabbit meatballs. Other popular bites came from Dantanna’s (sesame steak skewers with soy-ginger aioli), Hammocks’ (barbecued oysters with Mexican grilled corn) and Under the Cork Tree’s crispy lamb ribs with pickled cucumber, cilantro and lime), De Sena says. There’s one more difference between Taste, which offers family-focused activities, and Food that Rocks. “It’s not for children,” De Sena says. “This is one night when we tell people to call Uber, get a baby-sitter and just go and enjoy themselves.”

HERITAGE SANDY SPRINGS
Two decades before the city of Sandy Springs was incorporated, the spot where five underground springs come together in a sandy basin was threatened by commercial development. Citizens rallied and the “Save Our Springs” movement was born. That grassroots effort resulted in the nonprofit organization we now know as Heritage Sandy Springs (HSS). HSS continues to manage the 4-acre site around the original “sandy springs” — known as Heritage Green — offering an oasis of green space in an otherwise modern urban setting. HSS’ mission has expanded to focus on promoting history, stewarding a community park and enhancing the cultural identity of Sandy Springs. In addition to being a thriving community gathering space for HSS-hosted events, Heritage Green is an unforgettable venue for special events. It’s full of history, beauty and charm. Whether you’re looking for meeting space or a location for a wedding or corporate outing, Heritage Green has rental options to fit your needs. The Heritage Sandy Springs Museum, in the 1860s’ era Williams-Payne House, is the only museum dedicated to the story of our community. History is also shared via monthly lectures and the weekly Sandy Springs Gazette, an interactive online magazine based on local oral histories. Each Thursday, HSS publishes a new article in the Gazette, accumulating a firsthand account of historic people, places, events and happenings in our community. You can see the written transcripts and listen to audio of the interviews. In September 2016, HSS opened a new museum exhibit — Sandy Springs Gazette LIVE! — which brings this online magazine to life with new stories, images and artifacts. In everything that Heritage Sandy Springs does — from preserving historic green space, to presenting free cultural events, from promoting local history to participating in life’s defining moments — the goal is to create a place where people come together. By becoming a member, attending a concert or sharing an oral history, you can become a part of the heart of Sandy Springs. To learn more about such community-minded initiatives as the annual Sandy Springs Festival (in September), music series such as Concerts by the Springs Classics (MaySeptember) and Heritage Winter Classics (November-February), children’s programs like Turtle Tours and American Girl Club, the Heritage Sandy Springs Farmers Market (AprilDecember), gardening classes such as Little Diggers and much more, visit HSS online at www.heritagesandysprings.org.

attendees. The weekend-long celebration centered around Heritage Green features art, activities and tastes for all ages. It begins on a Saturday morning with the Lightning 5K/10K (a Peachtree Road Race qualifier) and goes until the sun sets on Sunday. Festgoers can create chalk masterpieces in the Chalk Walk Competition; browse a juried artist market with some 600 artists, crafters and vendors; take in kid-friendly activities at Children’s Park; sample tasty treats from food vendors; and line up to see which furry friend wins best dressed in the Pet Parade. NOVEMBER-DECEMBER Heritage Winter Classics. An indoor concert one Sunday each in November, December, January and February. The series, sponsored by Heritage Sandy Springs, celebrates classical, jazz and vocal music. The concerts happen in Heritage Hall, 6110 Blue Stone Road NE, and doors open at 4 p.m. $5 Heritage members; $10 nonmembers. Cash bar and complimentary snacks. No outside food or drink allowed. Eight bistro tables are available ($45 members; $65 nonmembers) and include seating for four and four drink tickets. Reserve in advance by emailing events@ heritagesandysprings.org. NOVEMBER Elegant Elf Marketplace. This two-day gift market, a fundraiser for the Sandy Springs Society, features fun and fancy shopping opportunities. Vendors are chosen carefully, so that this market isn’t like every other holiday market around. In its first five years, the marketplace has attracted more than 80 vendors and raised more than $345,000 for the Society’s philanthropic grants program, which funds nonprofit groups that work to promote and improve education, the arts, the environment, heritage preservation and social services in Sandy Springs. sandyspringssociety.org/the-elegant-elf/ Arts & entertainment This is an exciting time to be part of Sandy Springs’ artistic community.

Lifestyle Recreation & parks Just play. If that’s your preference, choices abound in Sandy Springs, long known for its tree canopy and dedication to green space. You can float, kayak, canoe, hike or fish the city’s 22 miles of Chattahoochee River shoreline, visit any of 16 city parks or lose yourself in any number of quiet spaces. In 2016, Lost Corner Preserve joined the lineup of options. The 24-acre site, at the corner of Riverside Drive, Dalrymple Road and Brandon Mill Road, features miles of walking trails. Still in the planning stages is Windsor Meadows, a passive 4.25-acre park with walking trails, small meadows and overlook points on Nancy Creek. Plans call for Frisbee and picnicking areas; a wildflower and native plant meadow; natural wooded areas; overlook points on Nancy Creek; benches and bench swings; and more. Call the Sandy Springs Recreation and Parks Department at 770-730-5600 for more information.

Ferry Road on the north — and slated to become Sandy Springs’ gathering place/ downtown. City Springs will feature more than 20,000 square feet of street-level retail space — a carefully curated selection of boutique shops (and restaurants) designed for the area’s residents and commuters. These shops will complement the neighboring and established businesses along Johnson Ferry and Roswell roads, Sandy Springs Circle and Mount Vernon Highway. Existing specialty stores — just a small sample — include Brilliant Sky Toys & Books on Johnson Ferry Road (developmentally sound playthings), CalyRoad Creamery on Hildebrand Drive (a micro-creamery that creates artisan cheese from local and regional milk sources) and Carina’s Closet on Roswell Road (a women’s clothing boutique, including plus sizes, that emphasizes fun and affordable handpicked items.
Perimeter Mall on Ashford Dunwoody Road near the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange has 160 tenants at last count, anchored by Dillard’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom and Von Maur department stores. Among its more recent openings: Shake Shack. Other mall options include Phipps Plaza (some 100 shops/eateries) and Lenox Square (more than 190 shops/ eateries), practically across Peachtree Street from each other in Buckhead. Both are a simple MARTA train ride away. The Prado Sandy Springs, on Roswell Road just east of Ga. 400, has a Target store and a Publix, plus 10 restaurants (including Five Seasons Brewing Co., which brews its beer on-premises), and Genki (noodles and sushi); eight health and beauty shops (including a link in the Hand & Stone Massage & Facial chain); and seven specialty stores (including Peter Glenn, an outdoors outfitter).

company headquartered in Sandy Springs, threw open its doors to 26 school principals and assistant principals. As these educators toured the building, they talked with executives and learned how the company prevents hacking. “There was a lot of interaction,” says Tom Mahaffey, president and CEO of the Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the CEO for a Day event. Even more important, the educators learned the kinds of skills the company seeks in its workforce. The annual event is “a way to bring corporations together with the education system,” Mahaffey says. This kind of creative hosting is part of Sandy Springs’ economic ethos. “The city has a business-friendly reputation,” says Andrea Hall, the city’s economic development director, who says she’s always open to suggestions

from members of the business community. It follows, then, that Sandy Springs is a hub for businesses looking to relocate in Georgia. The city is the national headquarters of four Fortune 500 companies — United Parcel Service, Veritiv, First Data and Newell Brands — and the headquarters of nine Fortune 1000 companies, including Intercontinental Exchange, which owns the New York Stock Exchange, Dell SecureWorks, Lincoln Financial Group, VMWare/AirWatch, Focus Brands (which owns six restaurant chains) and many others. Mercedes-Benz USA continues to build its new U.S. headquarters on a 12-acre site at Abernathy Road and Ga. 400, due for completion in 2018. And 10 percent of metro Atlanta’s top 50 private companies call Sandy Springs home — CSM Bakery Solutions, Arby’s Restaurant Group, Choate Construction, Church’s Chicken and Cox Enterprises, among them.

Sandy Springs is an ideal location for businesses. Big companies are attracted to the Southeast and like the ease of transportation, says Dan DiLuzio, SSPC board chairman, adding, “We’re at the crossroads.” I-285, the interstate that loops around Atlanta, meets Ga. 400 in Sandy Springs, and workers flow into the city each day from throughout the metro area. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is 30 minutes away, providing direct access to 160 U.S. destinations and 70 international destinations in 45 countries. The city is increasingly attractive to both young and old residents. “We have a lot of millennials locating in this area,” Mahaffey says. They can
walk to restaurants and businesses. Baby boomers from the northern suburbs are moving to Sandy Springs, often to luxury apartments, as they become empty-nesters, officials say. And Sandy Springs is increasingly seen as a dining mecca, with an annual Restaurant Week (in November), and plenty of attention from such national publications as Zagat. The city of about 100,000 offers prospective retail businesses a highincome population that lives within a three-mile radius of the central business district. Retailers gain even more customers from commuters who come in and out of town at least five days a week. The population, which grows by about 2,000 people per year, is educated.
The number of college graduates is 24 percentage points higher than the region as a whole; the many colleges and universities in metro Atlanta provide a skilled workforce. Employee recruitment and retention is a point of emphasis here; Sandy Springs is attractive to employees as a place to live or as a place to work, with easy access from Midtown Atlanta and the northern suburbs. “We have a great public transportation system in place,” Hall says. Three MARTA stops are located in Sandy Springs and another in nearby Dunwoody. Express bus service has expanded from the suburbs, with new routes from Cobb County’s Town Center/Big Shanty area and Sugarloaf Mills in Gwinnett County. GRTA buses

Economic Development — with plenty of legroom, reclining seats, power outlets and free Wi-Fi — offer an almost luxurious ride to work. Sandy Springs, more so than other parts of the metro area, is seeing big investments in transportation. “A lot of resources are being put into regional transportation issues,” Hall says. In November 2015, Gov. Nathan Deal kicked off the official overhaul of the I-285 and Ga. 400 interchange, a $800 million project that will include 30 new flyover bridges. New lanes along the side of Ga. 400 will keep local traffic off the expressway, and drivers will find it easier and safer to navigate the interchange because they won’t have to weave across lanes. A full 25 percent of the Sandy Springs city budget goes to capital improvements, including infrastructure upgrades and transportation, much higher than in most cities. Creative thinking around business is another city hallmark. In 2015 the city and Chamber of Commerce signed a sister-city agreement with a
metro area in Israel known as Western Galilee, a cluster of 14 cities. Mahaffey likes the relationship for its potential to bring business to the region. Israel is a leader in medical technology, financial technology and the pharmaceutical industry. With close ties between Western Galilee and Sandy Springs, Israeli companies likely will look beyond New York when considering expanding to the United States. Not long ago, Mahaffey realized that while Sandy Springs has many CEOs, these individuals didn’t always know each other. He initiated a gathering known as the Sandy Springs CEO Council, which brings these leaders together twice a year so they can get to know each other. It gives executives a way to stay informed and a forum for discussing community concerns. Perhaps bringing people and ideas together is simply the hospitable thing to do. Dietmar Exler, president and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA, says he’d heard of Southern hospitality before moving

to Sandy Springs but “had no clue what that really was.” But after he set up his office here, he got calls from companies ranging from Coca-Cola to Home Depot, from UPS to Cox Enterprises. They called to be friendly and ask if there was anything they could do. Exler was surprised, and says, “Thanks to all of you for a warm reception!” PERIMETER COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS The Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (known as PCIDs) are self-taxing districts that use additional property taxes to keep needed transportation and infrastructure improvement projects moving forward. The Perimeter area is home to one of the largest retail malls in the state, dozens of dining locations, premier retailers, and a variety of multi- and single-family housing options. All of this makes it one of the Southeast’s most popular — and busiest — live, work and play communities. PCIDs have been a major force behind the largest surface transportation project in Georgia history — the re-creation of the I-285 and Ga. 400 interchange — which began in early November 2016 and is expected to take four years at a cost of $800 million. The project is expected to include 30 flyover bridges as well as lanes alongside Ga. 400 to keep local traffic separate. Ideally, drivers will find it far easier and safer to navigate. Gov. Nathan Deal says the project will expand Georgia’s role as “a major logistics hub for global commerce.” PCIDs put up $10 million to push for the project, providing information to businesses and state decisionmakers. Another innovative idea from the PCIDs is called Project Connect. This free consulting service offers commuting options to Perimeter Center businesses and employees. It also helps companies put together telecommuting policies that can be offered as an employee benefit.

FIRST DATA
If you’ve ever swiped a credit card in a retail store or redeemed a gift card, you’ve likely come in contact with First Data’s services, although you might not even recognize the name or know that its corporate headquarters is in Sandy Springs, at 5565 Glenridge Connector. You know the little black terminal that your merchant uses to swipe your card or read the chip on it? First Data probably provided it, because it processes 45 percent of all U.S. credit and debit transactions and counts more than 6 million merchants worldwide as customers. Verifying financial transactions using credit cards, checks (through its Telecheck service) and debit cards (at its STAR network of ATMs) might be the most visible of First Data’s services to consumers, but the company is actually one of the largest financialservices processing and security firms in the world. It has 24,000 owner-associates and operations in 36 countries, assisting everything from small businesses to large corporations. First Data secures and processes a staggering number of financial transactions — more than 2,500 per second. It uses next-generation point-of-sale technology and powerful analytics to detect fraud, gain insights into consumer spending and strengthen customer loyalty. Atlanta is a key hub for several of First Data’s business operations including corporate functions, sales, customer support and service, product management, product support, technology (including product development, infrastructure, cyber security), hardware services and support, says Cynthia Kurczewski, director of global communications and network and security solutions. Sandy Springs is First Data’s corporate headquarters and home to two of its three business units — Global Business Solutions and Network and Security Solutions.

You might not know about SecureWorks, but this Sandy Springs cybersecurity company works 24/7 to keep you and your computer safe from hackers who want to access your most sensitive information. SecureWorks specializes in network security and threat intelligence, targeted to company CIOs, systems operators and corporate boards of directors. In everyday language, it means SecureWorks detects, tracks and works to prevent attempts to hack into computer networks and steal money or information, spy on governments, business or individuals, or otherwise cause havoc. SecureWorks has 700 employees in its global headquarters in the Concourse Office Park at I-285 and Ga. 400, with more working in its security operations centers and support locations in 21 countries around the world. Founded in 1999, SecureWorks provided information security to financial services companies, says Stacie Hagan, human resources vice president. The company quickly expanded into other industry segments, working with major corporations around the world. Today, the company has 4,300 clients in 59 countries. Dell bought SecureWorks in 2011; in 2016, SecureWorks launched an IPO and became an independent publicly traded company (NASDAQ: SCWX). The company posted $420 million in revenue in 2015. Central to its operations is the Counter Threat Platform, which tracks 190 million “events” a day to determine whether they are benign or malicious. A team of human experts takes over to analyze each threat, to write rules to deal with it and to apply the rules across every network the company monitors. SecureWorks responded to some 700 major threats in 2015 including a major email hack affecting, among other groups, the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. It also responded to email hacks by a group of Russians in 2016. “It was a ‘spear-phishing’ incident,” Hagan says, meaning an attack that targets specific people to gain access to confidential or personal information by sending legitimate-looking email messages with malicious links. Members of the DNC and Clinton’s campaign staff received a legitimate-looking email warning them that their email accounts had been compromised and advised them to click a link in the email to reset their passwords. The link, however, went to a phony Gmail login page. Those who provided their usernames and passwords unwittingly gave hackers access to their email accounts. “We were able to quickly recognize the originating nations of the domains the hackers used and the way they wrote their code to provide connections about who the threat actors were,” Hagan says. Although the company maintains a low profile in the community, Hagan says, it’s part of a huge growth industry, both in Georgia and worldwide, typically hiring 250 to 500 new employees every year. “Globally, there’s insufficient talent to meet the huge demand for security specialists,” she says. “Georgia has 120 companies focused on security information services. It’s a great job for new college graduates. We also have many former military people who worked in IT support or national security defense.”

VERITIV Veritiv is moving up in the world. In 2015, it moved its corporate headquarters to Sandy Springs; in 2016, it joined the Fortune 500. Top money managers like to call Veritiv a “$9 billion startup.” This “startup” is the first Fortune 500 company in Georgia led by a woman. CEO Mary Laschinger runs the distributor of print, publishing, packaging and facilities solutions, which is also a provider of logistics and supply-chain management services. The corporation was created in 2014 in a merger of Unisource Worldwide and a division of International Paper Co. Laschinger sees herself as a change agent.

The Sandy Springs Innovation and Technology Center will open its doors in early 2017 to provide stateof-the-art resources and meeting space for technology professionals and innovators. The Center is being designed and built through a publicprivate partnership between the Sandy Springs Chamber, Sandy Springs Development Authority and Cousins Properties. The Center will occupy 3,700 square feet of space in Northpark Town Center at Abernathy and Peachtree Dunwoody roads and is scheduled to open in January-February 2017.
Northpark Town Center. Its direct access to MARTA is important, Laschinger says, as is its closeness to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The Sandy Springs location adds the benefits of area colleges and universities, she says, and Veritiv wanted to be close to employees, many of whom live in Atlanta’s northern suburbs. The Sandy Springs headquarters has about 200 employees on three floors in the Northpark Town Center location. “This is going to give us some room to grow,” Laschinger says. Employees at the corporate headquarters work primarily in the finance, tax, treasury, legal, human resources and communications areas. Worldwide, Veritiv employs about 8,800 people and has 180 distribution centers throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Laschinger was a top executive at International Paper, who grew up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, where she was expected to pull her weight. In an early job
at Kimberly-Clark Corp., she was one of very few women working in paper mill environments. “I had four brothers,” she says, “and I knew how to hold my own.” As a top executive she focuses on pulling people together around a goal. “You’ve got to engage the people of the company — around strategy and decisions — to make things happen.”

RONALD McDONALD HOUSE
A large whimsical treehouse rises toward the ceiling in the lobby of metro Atlanta’s newest Ronald McDonald House. Children are transfixed when they see it and can get lost in its world from any of its three levels. The treehouse is the kind of light touch that lifts the spirits of families when children face medical treatment. The newest Ronald McDonald House — on Peachtree-Dunwoody Road near the Glenridge Connector — opened in Sandy Springs in late December 2015. When families travel to have their kids treated at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Scottish Rite Hospital, they can stay here. The new house triples the space of the one it replaced, with 55,000 square feet and 31 bedrooms. It meets a huge need: In the three years before it opened, some 650 families were turned away because the house had no room. The hospitality of the Ronald McDonald House makes it easier for families and caregivers to focus on the sick child and interact with the medical team. Eula Knight and her daughter LaDerrica, 15, found support and comfort there in May 2016. LaDerrica’s father had died suddenly from an undetected brain aneurysm. Four days later LaDerrica was diagnosed with a similar condition. She traveled from Augusta for surgery at Scottish Rite. Eula Knight found the home a refuge, gaining comfort from other families staying there. “Being at the Ronald McDonald House is like being with your family,” she says. ”You cry when the other families close to you leave, but you are so happy they are able to go home.” Raising the house’s roof was a community effort. Individuals, foundations and corporate donors helped raise the $18.5 million that Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities needed to build it. Today, volunteers welcome guests, prepare meals and provide activities for its temporary residents.

MARY HALL FREEDOM HOUSE
Lucy Hall-Gainer has a simple philosophy: “Put people around success, and they will want to succeed.” That, plus a little divine inspiration, led her to Sandy Springs and the founding of what has become Mary Hall Freedom House, which offers a varied program of social, physical and mental health care, and housing services for women and children. It all began with just an apartment hunt in 1996, HallGainer, then a housemother and now CEO, says. “I was on a task to find apartments for children who had aged out of foster care but were not old enough to be on their own.” What brought her to Sandy Springs? “It was God who led me here,” she says. “I said, ‘This is where we’re going to start.’ It was a beautiful area, and I wanted the people I served to live where I would want to live. I wanted them to have the same opportunities and privileges that everyone else had. There was a method to my madness.” Twenty years later, Mary Hall (named for Hall-Gainer’s mother) has grown to serve more than 5,000 women and their children while retaining its mission to help women break generational cycles of poverty, homelessness and abuse. Along with supervised housing for homeless women and children and residential substanceabuse treatment facilities, Mary Hall has expanded to provide day care and after-school care, parent training, and family and psychological counseling services. The organization also focuses on providing housing, assessment and employment services for women veterans.

Community Organizations COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE CENTER Neighbors helping neighbors. That’s what the Community Assistance Center (CAC) is all about. CAC brings the community together to help neighbors in need, prevent homelessness and hunger, and help folks get on a path to self-sufficiency. CAC assists individuals and families in Sandy Springs and Dunwoody through in-kind donations, financial contributions and volunteer manpower. The Center is supported by residents, businesses, schools, civic organizations, congregations, grants, the city of Sandy Springs, Fulton County and the United Way of Greater Atlanta. Citizens can get involved by donating food, clothing, home goods and furniture; holding food and clothing drives; sponsoring and contributing to annual events and programs; or joining a team of 1,000 volunteers. The nonprofit CAC is volunteer-driven, with opportunities available in the CAC Boutique, food pantry, reception desk and as a client interviewer. Volunteers also return client calls, do data work, and receive and sort donations. Groups are welcome. Contact Debbie at volunteer@ourcac.org. The Vintage Affair, CAC’s largest annual fundraiser, happens each fall with food, fine-wine tastings, and live and silent auctions. The event raises some $100,000 a year. Details at www.vintageaffair.org. The Adopt-a-Family for holiday gifts program helps families in need have a happier holiday season. You can find family’s and children’s wish lists on the CAC website at www.ourcac.org and
“adopt” online. Volunteers receive and distribute the donated gifts at CAC’s holiday gift center. CAC also is dedicated to making sure that every child is prepared for school. It provides free backpacks and school supplies to kids most in need. When you support Tools for School, your dollar goes further with wholesale purchasing. A $35 donation buys two backpacks filled with supplies. Donate at www.ourcac.org/toolsforschool. More information is available at info@ourcac.org and ourcac.org.
The Sandy Springs Perimeter Chamber Board created the Donna Adams Mahaffey Scholarship Fund in 2015 to give more female high school graduates the chance for a higher education. The program’s major fundraiser is the annual First Saturday Sock Hop (the 2017 event is March 4). Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded, one at Riverwood International Charter School and the other at North Springs Charter Schools. The program is named in honor of Mahaffey, a native Atlantan and lifelong public servant, who died in December 2015. The idea to benefit women in education comes from Mahaffey’s personal experience. Finances and family commitments prevented her from attending college immediately after high school, so she pursued her degree over a 30-year span. She attended college classes at night and on weekends while working full time and raising a family, finally earning her degree at age 50. During her working life, Mahaffey
44
served on several nonprofit boards, was an early civil rights proponent and worked extensively on race relations within communities around Atlanta. She helped
SANDY SPRINGS PERIMETER CHAMBER | SANDYSPRINGSPERIMETERCHAMBER.COM
create the MARTA train system and was an adviser on Jimmy Carter’s Atlanta Project. She spent 14 years as chief of external affairs for the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts (PCIDs), which provide transportation and infrastructure improvements in the Sandy Springs/ Perimeter area. The PCIDs are behind such improvements as the Hammond exit, the Perimeter Parkway and flyover bridge, and the state’s first diverging diamond. Mahaffey was a key player in the I-285/Ga. 400 interchange reconstruction project and was wellknown as a volunteer. To contribute to the scholarship fund, visit or mail the Bank of Sandy Springs office at 6000 Sandy Springs Circle. Make checks payable to “The Donna Adams Mahaffey Scholarship Fund.” For questions on applying for a scholarship, visit the website at sandyspringsperimeterchamber.com/ initiatives/donna-mahaffey-scholarshipfund or call 678-433-2990, Ext. 305, and speak to Kathryn Hoffman.

Government Sandy Springs, the sixth-largest city in Georgia, was incorporated in 2005 after a 30-year campaign for cityhood. It immediately became a pioneer in efficient city government, employing an unusual public-private partnership for municipal services. The city staff includes a city manager, two assistant city managers, a finance director, city clerk, court administrator, human resources director, and police officers and firefighters. There’s also the mayor and city council. Many other services — road-paving, sidewalk-building, building and code enforcement, courts, finance, and recreation and parks — are provided by the private sector through contracted service agreements. The result is a city that is efficient, effective and, if surveys are any indication, heartily endorsed by Sandy Springs residents who give it high marks for government services and quality of life. Sandy Springs has the state’s lowest ratio of city employees to citizens, and the public-private partnership is widely seen as as a model for other communities. At least six other Georgia communitiess are using the model, and representatives from around the world have been visiting to learn more. Sandy Springs has built new roads, a state-of-the-art traffic system and award-winning parks. Its efficiency and responsiveness starts with the call center, reachable 24/7/365 at 770-730-5600, and answered by a friendly human being.

Health Care
PRIMARY CARE CENTER December 1997 was a dismal time for Dr. Charan Shikh. Three days before Christmas, he and the staff at his outpatient clinic learned their facility would shut down and that everyone would be laid off. The culprit: a merger of its corporate owner and another health-care company. Shikh (pronounced like “sheik”) and colleagues thought the merger would create a larger company and lead to promotions. “Instead,” he says, “we got pink slips. We all stood around talking in the parking lot. It was very emotional.” Shikh, with years of experience in corporate health care, was asked to stay on. He walked away when the new company refused to consider his model for a better way to deliver primary care to patients. His idea was to gather all services in a single location, including primary care, walkin urgent care, diagnostics, lab work and more, providing continuity of care instead of splintering medical services among multiple providers. He also wanted to extend hours into the evening and on weekends. “I said, ‘I’m going to start the future the way I want to see it. I went out the next day to start the company. I reached out to our community and said to enjoy the holidays and come back in 10 days, and I will be back in our building, and we will be practicing medicine.” Shikh opened his first Primary Care Center in Decatur’s Toco Hills area in January 1998. “Administratively, it was a nightmare,” he says. “It was a family-driven effort, mainly my sister and me. My parents stuffed 2,500 envelopes. But the people came back.” Seventeen years later, Shikh’s clinics are flourishing, with 62,000 patients, 30 staff members and two locations, at 5975 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, where he lives, and a different location in Decatur. He’s also opened an office in the Queen building of the Concourse Parkway office complex for his next enterprise — turning his model into a corporate venture, similar to franchises, which would allow more physicians to practice independently instead of being on staff at a medical center. “If Home Depot and McDonald’s can be in every town, so can doctors,” he says. “We want to keep doctors in practice, putting them in the driver’s seat to provide great care while we help them to comply with modern business and medical practices. They can practice medicine and also have quality of life without dealing with the business issues. “We want to help doctors be part of something great,” he says. “I’m happy with that much, to be the Disney of health care for patients and to give great lifestyles to doctors. My dream ends there.”

Every school day, 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. Kids get different kinds of cancer than adults, so different research is needed to find answers and cures. Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research empowers volunteers across the country to raise awareness and funds in an effort to find better treatment options with fewer long-term side effects and, ultimately. Rally, founded in 2005 by Dean and Reid Crowe, envisions a world where no parent must hear, “Your child has cancer.” Rally has distributed more than $9 million in research grants, funding more than 200 projects nationwide. It also provides financial assistance to families with a sick child. It received the Independent Charities Seal of Excellence, given to charities that meet the highest standards. For every dollar donated, 93 cents supports Rally’s mission, according to an independent audit. The organization has more than 520 Rally Kids, whose stories inspire everyone to “rally.” Rally Foundation is represented by spokesmen from the sports world, including Major League Baseball players Brian McCann, Kris Medlen and Lucas Sims;and the National Football League’s Prince Amukamara, Vic Beasley, Joe Hawley, Corey Peters and Takeo Spikes. Rally holds a number of events and programs each year, ranging from Delta Double Play (with a celebrity softball game); Rally on the Runway (with professional models and Rally Kids); Rally 4 Quarters 4 Research (which collects loose change in more than 200 schools and community groups in 10 states); and Rally Athlete Half Marathon Training Teams, 5Ks and Bike Rides. Rally’s community partners — local, national and international businesses, civic groups and organizations — have joined the effort to raise funds and awareness to fight childhood cancer. Learn more about how you can get involved at www.rallyfoundation.org, by calling 404-847-1270 or emailing info@rallyfoundation.org.
