Myles Smith retires, leaving Civic League well-positioned for the future |
|
 On January 1, executive director Myles Greene Smith retired from his post at The Civic League. This was actually Smith’s second retirement, having left Georgia Power Company in 2007, after 25 years as a planner and community affairs executive. While at Georgia Power, he served as a member of the Regional Leadership Forum board of directors and was involved in the Forum’s 2005 merger with Research Atlanta and the Metro Group, which resulted in The Civic League for Regional Atlanta. He provided continuity as a member of the new organization’s board, and in 2008, became The League’s executive director at a grand salary of $1.
"Myles gave us stability and focus right at the time that we found our "groove" –providing user-friendly, accessible opportunities for citizen engagement and interaction on regional issues" says board chair Lesley Grady. "His gave us an extremely generous gift of his time, leadership and patience, and The Civic League will forever owe him an immeasurable debt."
