City of Chamblee Named A City of Civility by Georgia Municipal Association

The City of Chamblee has been designated as a City of Civility by the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) Chamblee adopted a civility resolution in GMA’s new Embrace Civility program on April 18, 2023.

“We are proud to participate in GMA’s Embrace Civility Program,” said Mayor Brian Mock. “We are committed to engaging in respectful and healthy discourse that governs and promotes our City in the best interests of our residents.”

GMA, in partnership with the Association’s nonprofit organization, Georgia City Solutions, created the Embrace Civility Program to equip Georgia’s cities with resources to create more civility in their meetings and among their residents and meeting attendees. Civil behavior and speech are critically important to a healthy, functional, and respectful society. For public service to be effective, there must be an atmosphere of respect and tolerance and a commitment to a healthy public exchange of diverse ideas and viewpoints.

To become a City of Civility, city councils are required to adopt a Civility Resolution and pledge to engage in civil behavior with each other as well as with residents and meeting attendees. Cities also have a civility pledge that can be published or recited at meetings. Learn more about the Embrace Civility program at www.gacities.com/civility
