Atlanta City Council committee members for 2024 are named

The Atlanta City Council committee chairs and members for 2024 have been named.

City Council President Doug Shipman makes the appointments, which he announced on Dec. 4. The committees are sub-groups of the council where legislation and policies typically get the most in-depth discussion.

“My goal, as it has always been, is to assure the chairs of our committees, as well as our committee members, reflect the desires and diversity of our great city,” said Shipman in a press release.

As president, Shipman oversees the council’s operations but does not sit on any committees himself and only votes in the case of a tie.

The 2024 appointments are as follows. For the current appointments, see the council website.
