‘GET TO KNOW COBB’ PROGRAM
ENCOURAGES PARTICIPANTS TO
LEARN MORE ABOUT COBB COUNTY
GOVERNMENT
In 2024, West Cobb Senior Center introduced a new program
to help seniors learn more about Cobb County Government.
The program kicked off in April with a seminar from West
Cobb Aquatic Center and we have since enjoyed presentations
from West Cobb Regional Library, Cobb Probate Court, and Cobb
Tax Commissioner. We also traveled to the Switzer Library and
the Cobb Medical Examiner’s office.
We will end the year with a trip to gain insight into the inner workings
of Cobb County Government and a behind-the-scenes look at The David
Hankerson Building. Meet Public Services Agency Director Dr. Jatunn
Gibson, find out about the departments she leads (including Senior
Services), and ask questions to learn more. Afterwards enjoy some time
for lunch and shopping on your own at the Marietta Square. Don’t miss
out on this rare opportunity to engage with a county official!
